Giorgi Mikadze Trio: Face to Face

Pianist Girogi Mikadze trios up with Francois Moutin/b and Raphael Pannier/dr from some originals that mix jazz ideas with harmonies and melodies from his native Georgia. The team gallops with Mikadze showing a wide stride on “A Magic Egg” and some graceful classical ideas are featured on ”The Moon Over Mtatsminda”. The three dance on the festive “Same Garden” and gallop following Pannier’s intro on “Wind Takes It Away”. Moutin adds to the restless pulse of the intricate “Satchiao” and is tender with the leader on “Nana”. Georgia is on our minds.
