Gig reviews by Chris Parker

Antonio Forcione & Adriano Adewale

Tuesday 16 March

For sheer virtuosity, passion and intensity, a performance by acoustic guitarist Antonio Forcione is hard to beat, and in the consistently resourceful and sensitive percussionist Adriano Adewale he has the perfect foil, so it was no surprise to find the club packed to bursting point before the duo's gig. See the complete review.

New CD reviews by Chris Parker

Evgeny Masloboev & Anastasia Masloboeva Russian Folk Songs
in the Key of Sadness

Evgeny Masloboev and his daughter Anastasia received rave reviews for their previous Leo album, Russian Folksongs in the Key of Rhythm, their collaboration (she sings, he accompanies her on an extraordinary variety of instruments and 'found' percussion) described thus by AllAboutJazz: 'Within the eastern folk attributes of these endearing compositions, Evgeny Masloboev conjures up the rhythm of life, while his daughter's heavenly chants and endearing lyricism...add an aura of mystery and spiritualism'.
