about

In March 2019 I did a small tour in some cities of Siberia with the Priot Duo, with whom I had a stable trio at that time, plus the bassist Wadim Dikke as a guest. This is the last concert we did as a quartet, in the city of Tomsk on March 31st 2019, and not only the best of the tour but one of the best I remember with Piotr and Natasha.

The repertoire is mostly made up of re-interpretations of pieces from some of my solo albums, although in those days we used to play Ornette Coleman's Lonely Woman as well. The style is hard to typecast: cinematic ballads, sometimes bathed in a soft latin-jazz flavor, telepathic improvised collective explorations and explosions of furious dialogue between Natasha's pyrotechnic piano and a guitar somehow halfway between Fripp and Santana, in contrast to lyrical melodies underlined by the innocence of the melodica, all supported by Piotr's always creative and uncompromising drums and a great performance by Wadim, who, being a formidable electric bassist, had nevertheless only been playing the upright-bass for around six months at that time.

The sound is not spectacular, being an audience recording, but everything is heard clearly, even too much when you hear the stomping of the guitar pedals or the noises of the chairs almost louder than the instruments. However, everything contributes to creating an immersive experience in what was one of our best concerts with this formation.
