Zhenya Strigalev/Tim Lefebvre/Liam Noble/Obed Calvaire/Mike Janisch

Fiery London-based Russian alto saxophonist Strigalev launches his excellent new album 'Smiling Organizm', a scorching mix of edgy post-bop and gritty fusion, all served up by two stellar US/UK line ups. Visiting bass guitarist Lefebvre and drummer Calvaire bring some NYC attitude while artful Brit pianist Noble adds more class.
