Our Take

Alex Sipiagin's latest album "Mel's Vision" is a wild, genre-bending ride that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about jazz. The Russian-born trumpet maestro's fourth solo release is a mind-bending fusion of traditional jazz, electronic beats, and avant-garde experimentation.

His virtuosic trumpet playing is on full display throughout the album, effortlessly navigating complex time signatures and dizzying scales with a sense of playfulness and whimsy.

But what truly sets "Mel's Vision" apart is the way Sipiagin seamlessly blends seemingly disparate sounds and influences into a cohesive whole. Whether he's incorporating elements of hip-hop on "Funky Town" or channeling the spirit of Miles Davis on the mesmerizing title track, Sipiagin's sonic palette is as expansive as it is daring.

In the end, "Mel's Vision" is a triumph of creativity and imagination, a testament to Sipiagin's unrivalled talent as a musician and composer. If you're looking for an album that will challenge your expectations and expand your horizons, look no further than Alex Sipiagin's "Mel's Vision."
