HAPPY 55

Happy55 are a jazz trio from the southern industrial city of Voronezh; they gather critical acclaim as if were lying around on the street. Take, for example, the following two quotes as a starting point: "One of the most original musical projects in Russia today"; "These guys from Voronezh аre rock-solid in all areas. The music is all their own, their line-up's very unusual, and the way they think about their craft clearly goes beyond the limits of what's commonly accepted." We need not look very far in order to find even more dramatic assessments from eye witnesses of their live work: "The music forced everyone to stand still, slack-jawed and open-eyed, as they tried following along with this driven, freestyle jazz." Is more required? "It's complicated music, but the performers are up to the challenge. It's simply beautiful. A marvel!" from www.farfrommoscow.com
