Album Notes & Community Reviews

The prominent Soviet saxophonist presents a complex, fiercely uncompromising exploration of avant-garde and free jazz. 'Invocations' highlights Vapirov's immense technical command and highly expressive, unstructured improvisations, often accompanied by sparse, abstract rhythm sections. The album serves as a crucial artifact of the deeply intellectual and experimental jazz movement behind the Iron Curtain.
