By Grego Applegate Edwards

The trio of Francois Carrier (alto sax), Michel Lambert (drums) and Alexey
Lapin (piano) have been going at it for some time now (type Francois's name in
the search box for previous albums), principally via a number of concert
appearances of the three in Russia. The 2013 tour is bearing fruit in the
release The Russian Concerts Volume 1 (FMR CD367).

Based on this volume one hopes for a good deal more. The first volume finds the
three in excellent form. Francois is a dynamo, a force of nature-through-art,
playing endless streams of inspired saxophony notable for its exceptionally
developed sound fingerprint as well as a liquidity of continuous
invention. Michel Lambert's drums are always appropriate, original and
sonically alive. Alexey Lapin gives us his far-ranging, freely spontaneous yet
incisive pianism at peak levels.

Put these three together these days and you have some spontaneous combustions
of great power and poetic art.

This is some free improvisation to define the medium today. This is art! It's
also one of their very best! Listen and be convinced.
