Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series. We reconnect with acclaimed jazz pianist and composer Yelena Eckemoff to talk about her bold new 2025 double album, Scenes from the Dark Ages. This project blends progressive rock, modern jazz, and medieval themes into a surreal, nearly two-hour listening experience delivered by a top-tier ensemble.
Yelena dives deep into:
-
The creative inspiration behind the album
-
Fusing historical themes with modern jazz
-
Working with elite musicians
-
The role of storytelling in her compositions
-
How music helps navigate the complexities of modern life
Described as “spellbinding” and “immersive,” this album is both ambitious and deeply personal — a must-hear for fans of cinematic, genre-defying jazz.
