National jazz musicians to release joint album
AThe album "Cycle", prepared at the studio "Ozella Music", will be released on April 20, Azertac reported.
"Cycle" is not just a music project. It is interesting due to its content.
Organ, saxophone and piano which have not been used before in combination are magically merged in one theme. They are a perfect combination and harmony in space. Each instrument brings its own philosophy in. Organ - divinity, saxophone - emotions, piano - evolution.
The project represents consequential phases of human genesis and evolution and explores various options of its development. Rain Sultanov describes emerging of spiritual society and rise of humankind to a higher level not as an utopia but reality that strives for self-expression.
