Russian pianist Yuri Vikharev together with Latvian rhythm section - double bassist Juris Āķis and drummer Einārs Raibais. Recorded in the Latvian TV Studio back in 1967.Yuri Vikharev/Juris Āķis/Einārs Raibais "The Lost Latvian TV Studio Sessions 1967" is a unique historical testament to Soviet and Latvian jazz in the 1960s.Yuri Viharev (1936 - 1994) was a vibrant figure of the Soviet jazz era. He was a collector of jazz records, a lecturer, a jazz journalist, and one of the leaders of the 60s Leningrad jazz scene. A pianist who taught himself jazz. In the introduction to his autobiography, "Something to Remember – The Story of One Soviet Jazz Man" he writes that "...jazz came to my body and soul, and directed my choices and goals. Jazz is not simply music, but a lifestyle and a way of thinking."Jazz bridged the gap between the Soviet reality and the free world. It was part of a much wider cultural space. Those who listened to Miles Davis also read the poetry of Osip Mandelstam. It was a form of internal emigration. Non-violent and creative. In the pages of his autobiography, Yuri Vikharev literally tastes his meetings with conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein, jazz producer George Avakian, Willis Conover and Charles Lloyd. Those were incredible encounters. Today, it seems even more unbelievable that for several years Yuri Vikharev was also a journalist for DownBeat magazine, who wrote about the life of jazz in the Soviet Union. He received payment for his DownBeat articles in the form of records because obviously a Soviet citizen could not cash paycheques from a US publisher.Yuri Vikharev's recordings were never issued during his lifetime. The session recorded at the Rīgas Āgenskalna Television Studio will finally reach its audience only now. It is the first official Yuri Vikharev recording ever released.Bassist Juris Āķis recalls that on August 21st, 1967, a concert was scheduled for Latvian Television, with pianist Yuri Vikharev, drummer Einārs Raibais, and two upright bassists – himself and Georgiy Gavorgian. This concert recording has unfortunately been lost to time yet, miraculously, a recording of the previous day's rehearsal has survived. Gennady Goldstein once sent Juris Āķis a copy of this recording from St. Petersburg as a gift. He recalls that the musicians weren't even aware that the rehearsal session was being recorded.Juris Āķis (1938) is also a key figure in many events in the life of jazz in Latvia. He was one of the founders of Latvia's first jazz festival KIKOK, he organized important jazz concerts, and was present at the Tallinn Jazz Festival in 1967. Thanks to his recollections and his personal archives, it is possible to restore many events from jazz history in Latvia from the latter half of the 20th century.Among this recording's stand-out moments is the play of drummer Einārs Raibais (1941-1972). His contemporaries remember him as an energetic and technically powerful drummer whose creative path and life, while short, shone brightly. He has left his mark not only on the history of Latvian jazz — at the end of the 60s, he joined one of the founders of original rock music in Latvia, the rock group Katedrāle [Cathedral]. Unfortunately, no Katedrāle recordings have survived. As a result, this recording is also important in the wider context of popular music in Latvia.

It has no concept in the rational sense of the word. It’s concept is purely intuitive. It presumes The Law of Analogies: “As above so below. Man is the same as the Universe. The Universe is the same as Man.” ("Emerald Tablet” by Hermes Trismegistus"). This intuition is a kind of rephrased logic which uses many more symbols which contain not only philosophical but also imaginative meanings/ visionary interpretations.This music is a stream of consciousness in its purest form: not an imitation of a stream, as in the ‘suggestive poetry’ of the 20th century, but a stream where one flow is superimposed on another (a multilateral passage of recording). And, if we think this flow of music will be better understood under the influence of a verbal flow, then the verbal flow should also be more intuitive and associative, as objective for this short write-up you are currently reading.Ocean did not appear within the coordinate system of logical scientific thinking of the last four centuries. It can be said that it is based on an intuitive concept of representations of the world which are captured in music figuratively. Similar to how myths were created in time immemorial with only partial support from verbal associations. Ocean is an experience of passing the Human Soul and Mind through the different states of the material world: birth, development, and achievement of perfection, transformation at the points of The Way and Silence, the manifestation of the harmony of the world (Om), which until then had remained in a latent state. It is averse to both mainstream contemporary physics and fringe scientific research. It exists outside their explanatory power.Ocean is the source of all forms that can receive their life within time and space. Here it is. It has everything: beautiful and terrible, good and evil, self-sacrifice and betrayal. Boundless love and inspired creativity. But contact does not happen immediately. The memory of a bygone civilization is still fresh, and of the dearest things left with it.Written, performed and produced by Valentina GoncharovaComposition A1 to C4 recorded in Kose subdistrict, Tallinn, Estonia(Recording period August-October 1988)Composition D1 recorded in artist´s home studio in Lasnamäe subdistrict, Tallinn, Estonia (Recording period May 2021)Mixing (Original Mix) — Valentina Goncharova, Igor ZubkovOriginal album master tapes digitization — Martin Jaanus**Digitization carried out with the invaluable help from Skeemipesa team and Tallinn Technical University (TalTech) using a fully restored Olimp MPK-005C reel-to-reel tape recorder, identical to the one used during the ´OCEAN´ original recording sessions in 1988.Audio restoration, 1st Phase — Jörgen HermasteAudio restoration, 2nd Phase — Igor ZubkovMastering engineer — Jörgen HermasteFinal mastering and lathe cut — Matt Colton (Metropolis Labs, London UK)All of the other photography used for the gatefold and the booklet are taken from Valentina Goncharova´s personal archiveReleased and distributed by Hidden Harmony Recordings (HHLTS01) with direct involvement of Valentina Goncharova at all stages of the release preparation© & ℗ 2022 Hidden Harmony RecordingsWith love and a tribute of respect towards ´Document - New Music from Russia; The '80s' (1989) compilation CD box-set release by LEO Records.

Now based in Tallinn, the Kyiv born composer drew influence from the likes of Stockhausen, Xenakis and Ganelin Trio during the 1980s and experimented with marriages of electro-acoustic sound. Her homemade pickups and effects chains lend an extraordinary drone quality to amplified cello strings - minimalist classical movements, field recordings and spectral musique concrete unfolding across eleven distinct pieces. Shukai unveil a deeply personal parallel to the conservatoire background and classical repertoire of Valentina’s lifelong career in music, these recordings offering a glimpse of an artist free from academic strictures. ‘Recordings Vol. 1’ deliberates on the broader new music movement of the 20th century and highlights an overlooked innovator of the Eastern European avant-garde.Tracklist:A1 Symphony Of WindA2 InsightA3 Zen GardenB1 Passageway To EternityB2 MaitreyaB3 Higher FrequenciesC1 MetamorphosesC2 ContemplationD1 VigorD2 Dynamics
