Another trip DEEP into Funkytown with the sounds of clavinet, wah-wah guitar and blistering brass hits. Serge Tiagniryadno once again glides through the stratosphere vocally. Dmitry Maximov on bass again, he has intricate and complex chops and a fantastic groove. Really cool enveloped guitar solo from Sergey Kashirin. Odd-meter craziness is absolutely planted by the entire band.
I thought this was an unusual cut to include on an album like this because of the original’s spare and sparse arrangement; but Vorobyev has a spectacular surprise in store:–a charming full brass section arrangement, and a luscious, romantic, obscenely beautiful orchestration that in fact choked me up at its climax. Leonid Vorobyev is a truly gifted arranger, and his embellishment of this piece is nothing but glorious addition; it takes the relentless accuracy a step further and adds originality and beauty that did not previously exist. Vladimir Popov’s flute is smooth and romantic.
