Russian born trumpeter Alex Sipiagin has been a defining voice in the cutting-edge modern jazz realm. Captured here live at Smalls Jazz Club with his working group that includes the robust Seamus Blake on tenor, the agile David Kikoski on piano, Boris Kozlov on bass and Nate Smith on drums. This well-oiled machine of a band turns in a program of exciting original music that challenges and excites.
