Trumpet sensation Alex Sipiagin conducts his attention
and intention "Upstream" directing the energetic empathy
of his music towards engaging the hearts and
minds of jazz fans on his first release for Posi-Tone.
Exuding confidence with effortless virtuosity, Sipiagin
performs with a compelling and emotional voice on his
instrument that clearly elevates and distinguishes him
from his able contemporaries. Joining Sipiagin on this
musical journey is Posi-Tone's steadily serviceable and
reliably inventive rhythm section of pianist Art Hirahara,
bassist Boris Kozlov and drummer Rudy Royston. With
elegant lyricism, Sipiagin leads the group steadily
straight forward to explore harmonic wonderlands that
clearly reflect his modern melodic non-diatonic jazz
sensibility. With a thoughtful program of original compositions
and arrangements, Alex Sipiagin clearly attenuates
his focus "Upstream" and successfully provides
jazz fans everywhere with an astonishing array of
captivating currents and bright moments to cherish and
enjoy.
