LRK Trio
If there is something that can be marked as Russian jazz scene's hot export item in 2018, that is the LRK Trio. Russian names can be difficult to memorize. That is why pianist Evengy Lebedev, bassist Anton Revnyuk and drummer Ignat Kravtsov call themselves simply LRK Trio. The band name suggests that it’s not another piano trio, but three equals playing together. However, although acoustic and electric basses (Revnyuk) and drums (Kravtsov) are extremely important in the trio sound, it is the Lebedev’s piano that dominates it. It is undoubtedly a jazz piano, but you can also hear that the piano player is immersed in the classical Russian composition heritage, and that he is consciously using recognizably Russian melodies and intonations, both in composition and improvisation. Lebedev is also a virtuoso, which allows him not only to set complex tasks on the verge of modern jazz and modern symphony for the band and for himself: it allows him to perform those tasks.
