ECHOES magazine (April 2001, page 39) Elia Rulli As Kerleta says in his liner notes, the '70s sound was preserved in Russia up until late '80s. Whether this is because of technology or aesthetic doesn't matter, no one's complaining. This is proof that jazz-fusion in a colder climate is just as hot. Kerleta's favourite track is Ekstraversija by E. Straume Jazz Combo, the one track here actually recorded in the '70s, but my choice has to be the Boomerang Band's wonderful Dervish, utilising congas, tablas, a droning upright bass and one hell of o piano groove. Gorgeous.
