Fusion Point is a project of the St.-Petersburg pianist Kirill Sokirko. Fusion Point continues the tradition of chamber music in a trio format, which does not so much define the number of performers as the instruments used – piano, bass, and drums. The band plays in the style of fusion – an appropriate label, given the fact that the musicians work between several sub-genres, including jazz-rock, smooth-jazz, funk, and trip hop, along with nu-jazz, lounge, and even some older genres like cool, be-bop, and mainstream/swing. However, since the contemporary understanding of fusion is more often associated with jazz-rock, some critics would say the band's style is better described as modern-jazz
