Eugene Maslov:
Autumn in New England |
Eugene Maslov — born
and raised in Russia — musical citizen of the world.
Maslov listened to and absorbed the
messages of jazz piano greats Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson,
Herbie Hancock, Kenny Barron and other jazz masters such
as Ella Fitzgerald while growing up in Novotroisk and has
responded with his own highly personal vision. With
recognition of Maslov’s remarkable jazz skills came
opportunities to perform at the American Embassy with such
musical luminaries as Pearl Bailey, Gary Burton, Pat
Metheny, Steve Swallow and Louis Bellson. Maslov
then moved to the USA and since has worked with many
notables including Grover Washington Jr, Rebecca Paris and
Alan Dawson while readying a career as a soloist and trio
leader.
This, Maslov’s first American
recording, finds him in explorations of Evans and the
American songbook. His early classical training also
steps for with delicious legato lines that spine line
gossamer. The bassist and drummer were easy choices
for Maslov; they are simply his favorite musicians. Ben
Street and George
Schuller have routinely set the jazz world on its ear
as anchormen of the innovative modern big band Orange Then Blue.
In this piano trio setting, they display an empathy that
far transcends the usual session date.
Maslov offers vivid, wistful musical
reminiscences of both Massachusetts and St Petersburg in
the fall and Autumn in New England serves as a
pastel salute to the possibilities of the piano trio. |
