Loco Motion by Simon Nabatov

Third item from the „Oldies but…“ series.
My first solo album ever, recorded in Cologne during the last year of living in New York.
Wrote most pieces of the program, combining them with some standards.

Carl E. Baugher said in October 1992 (Cadence):
"While previous Nabatov recordings have impressed me, nothing has been as satisfying as this disc. With ideas galore and enough tools to get the job done, Simon Nabatov is a pianist of prodigious powers. "Loco Motion" is a fine effort by this original and inventive keyboardist. Nabatov blends stride, bop and free styles as if the improvising piano tradition were merely one long stream of symbiotic chain-links, which of course it is. Fortunately, the recording and the instrument were equal to the musicianship on this session. Is it too much to ask that the compositions be winners as well? No, it's not and they are.The result is an outstanding release."
