REVIEWS
INDIE KNIGHT
In My Dreams is the imaginative creation of composer/performer Yuri Tsapayev and his ensemble “Indie Knight.” Making guest appearances are British institution keyboardist Terry Disley and guitarist Randy Quan. Together they create a memorable musical experience.
With Heaven Drummer composer/performer Yuri Tsapayev and his ensemble “Indie Knight” have again created an intriguing wealth of musical treasures. In addition to the rich bass lines and compelling rhythmic schemes that the previous CD, In My Dreams, provided, this offering adds addition percussion by Ed McClary and haunting saxophone parts by Lincoln Adler. Plus, as before, Terry Disley brings his world-class keyboard skills to the mix.
The Getaway is certainly the most energetic of Indie Knight’s recordings to date. It is largely up-tempo, filled with power and enthusiasm. Even the more thoughtful and perhaps nostalgic pieces, like In the Forest, and Remember the ‘80s carry the imprint of this energy.

"It is becoming increasingly difficult to decide where jazz starts or where it stops, where Tin Pan Alley begins and jazz ends, or even where the borderline lies between classical music and jazz. I feel there is no boundary line."
