Check this out as a sampler:

 

 

Franco-Russian jazz rock band out of Moscow, and looks to be 2/3rds of that elusive but good Russian band Alkotrio. The French drummer adds a new dimensions with his beats. And the bandd sound like they are having some fun playing this relatively complex jazz rock.  Distance echoes of Focus's Sylvia to be heard in the slower third track . But can find very little to fault compositions, arrnagements, advanced playing. So amused that some Fusenest correspondents went on a collective rant when they discovered that only a MP3 version of the album appears to be available in the west (at least at Amazon and Amazon.UK)  - so I assume the You Tube sample was enough to have them chasing the album, as it was for me?
