Moscow Tears

In the bustling metropolis of Moscow, where the tears flow as freely as the vodka, Olga Konkova Trio has captured the essence of the city in their latest live album, "Moscow Tears - Live At Birds Eye Basel." As a renowned jazz pianist, Konkova leads her talented trio through a whirlwind of emotions, from the somber strains of "Tears of a Russian Princess" to the raucous energy of "Vodka on the Rocks." The trio's impeccable musicianship is on full display, with Konkova's virtuosic piano playing weaving effortlessly through the intricate rhythms laid down by bassist Per Mathisen and drummer Gary Husband. The live setting only serves to heighten the sense of spontaneity and creativity in the music. Each track takes on a life of its own, with Konkova and her bandmates feeding off the energy of the crowd and pushing each other to new heights of musical brilliance. While the album may not be for the faint of heart (or ear), with its avant-garde harmonies and unconventional structures, those willing to take the plunge will be rewarded with a truly unique and exhilarating listening experience. So pour yourself a glass of Russian vodka, sit back, and let Olga Konkova Trio take you on a musical journey through the streets of Moscow. You may shed a tear or two along the way, but trust us, it will be worth it. Cheers!
