New Album: The Way Home
Ivan Farmakovsky’s new album features the same quartet that successfully performed at «Triumph of Jazz» festival in February 2010. Pianist Ivan Farmakovsky, saxophone player Dmitry Mospan, bassist Anton Revnyuk and drummer Donald Edwards (USA) presented a brand new program of originals, showing a strikingly high level of musical performance. It didn’t take long for further developments, and in September Butman Music label released Farmakovsky quartet’s new album entitled «The Way Home», immediately considered to become it’s most promising release for 2010.
The album consists of new songs composed by Ivan Farmakovsky, as well as his jazz arrangements of famous Soviet songs. Two songs are also written by Dmitry Mospan, and one of them gave the album’s title. Original compositional ideas, references to the heritage of traditional Russian music, distinctive voices of musicians involved — this is what makes «The Way Home» sound so inimitable. It will suit the tastes of both musically sophisticated jazz fans and those who just entered into their journey of jazz music explorations.
