Our Take

Nikolai Kapustin's "New Memories" is the musical equivalent of a vibrant neon sign in a bleak, monochromatic world. The album takes us on a jazzy, avant-garde journey that is both nostalgic and completely fresh.

From the moment you hit play, you're transported to a smoky jazz club in the heart of Moscow, where Kapustin's piano skills are on full display. His blend of classical technique with jazz improvisation is nothing short of mind-blowing. It's as if Beethoven and Thelonious Monk had a love child, and that child grew up to be a musical prodigy.

Tracks like "Midnight Serenade" and "Rhapsody in Blue" showcase Kapustin's mastery of both genres, with intricate melodies that will have you tapping your foot and nodding your head in approval. The way he effortlessly switches between complex classical arrangements and smooth jazz grooves is truly awe-inspiring.

But don't be fooled by the sophisticated exterior of "New Memories" – there's a mischievous sense of humour running through the album. Kapustin's playful piano flourishes and unexpected chord progressions keep you on your toes, never quite sure where the music will take you next.

In conclusion, "New Memories" is a triumph of musical innovation and pure talent. With this album, Nikolai Kapustin cements his status as a true musical genius, blending classical and jazz with a touch of charm and wit. Grab a glass of your favourite tipple, sit back, and let Kapustin serenade you into the night. Cheers!
