The Second Approach Trio (piano, double bass, vocals) has always been an unusual team, forged and tempered to solve specific musical problems. Previously, their works would contain a lot of outright mischief or almost canonical renditions in different genres (be it jazz, avant-garde or classical), and the trio’s collaborators, including trombonist Roswell Rudd and saxophonist Alexey Kruglov, were proponents for a certain way of creating music. However, left alone with the texts of Russian poet Velimir Khlebnikov (1885-1922), the Second Approach Trio seem to have limited themselves to the goal of conforming to his spirit. This limitation distills the music, making it pass through a very appropriate mood filter.
