Simon Nabatov - For All The Marbles (2018)


The second installment of the „Oldies but…“ series, this recording documents my first attempt to form my own band in the classical trio format. 

Fresh arrival in Germany, I was soon approached by a small label, interested to record my music. I wrote a bunch of tunes, half of which formed a suite of sorts, heard on this album.

The rest became a solo CD for the same label, called „Locomotive“. The label disappeared as quickly as it was founded, but the music remained…
