That was wild. There were different parts in the piece that reminded me of a few bands from the 70s like one phrase in the piece was like Chicago and another phrase sounded like King Crimson and it's mixed together with a bunch of other stuff too. It was interesting. The one Russian band I really like is Trio Voronezh. I don't know how to categorized the type of music Trio Voronezh plays. Their stuff reminds me a little bit like the David Grisman Quintet. Grisman mixes Jazz, Bluegrass, and Folk and other music together in a type of music which he calls Dawg. There's a stronger folk sound in the Folk-Jazz fusion by playing on traditional folk instruments. TV seems to have the same approach (to music as DGQ) except where TV mixes folk with other types of music in a progressive way with a definite Russian flavor. Vladimir Volokhin on the domra (closely related to a balalaika), Valerie Petrukhin on the double-bass balalaika and Sergei Teleshev on the an (accordion).

One thing I've notice with Russian music is that the bass players can play exceptionally well.

Yeah, they're a 70s band and their range of influences is impressive they're not easy to pigeonhole.

After some more searching, I was able to find one of my favourite tunes. I have their music from a box-set containing all their work, but I believe this is from their second studio album.



I'm afraid I have to run to work, but I'll check out Trio Voronezh when I come back
