Russian-born Jazz Pianist Yelena Eckemoff

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Russian-born Jazz Pianist Yelena Eckemoff ..  She talked about her newest 2019 CD Colors .. So, her parents noticed that she had musical talent when she started to play piano by ear at the age of four. At the age of seven Yelena was accepted into an elite Gnessins School for musically gifted children and in 1991, with her husband, Yelena emigrated to the United States. While assimilating and surviving in a new country and raising children, she had to put her musical career on hold. During these years Yelena experimented with synthesizer and MIDI sequencer in her little home studio .. That led to her first jazz album, COLD SUN, in 2009 .. She is full of wisdom and stories ..
