Description
'No Going Back' is a multi-faceted big band/orchestral release from the Kruglov/Miller Kompania.
British pianist, composer and bandleader Vladimir Miller's strong association with the musical life of Moscow, going back to the early '90s, led to the establishment of the experimental, free-jazz Moscow Composers Orchestra amongst many, many other jazz/improvisational projects. This collaboration is with a member of that orchestra, Russian saxophonist Alexey Kruglov and his Krugly Band. Dynamic and full-bodied, this big band enthusiastically interpret, with Miller at the piano, these original compositions which are infused with world music and other influences, plus numerous, surprising declamations and interjections.
Recorded in the Russian capital, here is scored and improvised jazz which demonstrates extraordinary breadth of style and a decidedly fervent attitude in its performance; and these five particularly expansive 'movements' constantly hold the attention through their frequent, unpredictable turns.
