Vadim Bessarab Trio - Approximation (January 2022)

It cannot be said that this album is not a continuation of the previous one. This is the same sound of Vadim Bessarab Trio, the same selectivity in the choice of tracks and expressive techniques. Perhaps, academicism manifested itself in the composer's thought even more strongly, and the music itself became, in a certain sense, simpler, more restrained and... more weighty. We felt, quite obviously, after the release of the debut album, that we could no longer be the same. And from this position, it seems to me, we have made a qualitative transition to our own new level, while not losing our face
