After the dazzling Redux, Igor OGOGO Grigoriev, the trombone-guitar duo of Rod Oakes and Igor Grigoriev returns to their origins with a tour de force of Russian avant-garde with Lunar Surphase.
Affluent and soulful, this is OGOGO at their most impressive, supported by extraordinary musicians and performing compositions extremely close to their spirit.
Predisposed by the unusual modal system of Russian music, the counterpoint of Johann Sebastian Bach and the harmonic magnetism of Modest Mussorgsky and Karlheinz Stockhausen, OGOGO creates an innovative idiom of ecstasy and sorrow, decisively ingrained in the Russian folklore.
Rod Oakes (trombone) and Andrey Solovyov (trumpet, flute) are guests on several tracks.
