REVIEWS

"Tarasov's intellectualized percussion - rich moods are imperceptibly born from tiny details."

Virgil Mihain / "Russian Jazz New Identity", Quartet books, London

"He doesn't want to interfere with the process, the flow of ispiration, coming from within himself. There is a stream of subconsciousness, or consciousness, that he doesn't want to disturb."

Howard Mandel / "Down Beat", USA

"Enriching the part of the main instrument he brought forth devilish rhythms from any thing which happened to come across his hands - from bells, cocktail shakers, gongs and even tin box."

Francis Davis / "Atlantic Journal", USA

"Vladimir Tarasov a drummer of rare subtlety and cunning, takes sensual delight in the very touch of his extensive array of instruments, from finger chimes to cymbals. He is also a master of decorative brushwork."

Nat Hentoff / "The Wall Street Journal", USA

"It is a credit to Tarasov's sensitivity and creativity that this obvious play is utilized with such subtlety."

Milo Fine / "Jazz Forum", Poland

"Tarasov was virtuosic with one drum stick on a small hand-held disc."

Mary Campbell / "Associated Press", New York

"Along drum solo, which Tarasov littered with hushend, chopped - of sounds as if trying to restrain his exubererance."

John Fordnam / "The Guardian", London

"Vladimir Tarasov - wove exhilarating patterns through the most demanding tempos."

Geoff Chapman / "The Toronto Star", Toronto

    The first ATTO by Vladimir Tarasov - the driving force of the world-famous Ganelin-Tarasov-Chekasin trio (check out their albums on the Leo Records label!) - opens a series of the eight works composed and played by "a master of percussion ceremonies". Tarasov 'the marininist' creates his own acoustic landscape between the earth and the skies, the earth and the sea, ... the metallic body of cymbals and drum's air column ...  - Nick Dmitriev
