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.

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'.
