Based in Moscow, Russia, The Second Approach consists of a classically-trained composer and improvising pianist Andrei Razin, an improvising Gypsy singer Tatiana Komova and a jazz bass player Igor Ivanushkin. They are not straight-ahead jazz, but they are jazz, nevertheless, definitely unique.  Over the course of their  decade-long career as a group, the trio performed at jazz festivals in Norway, Germany, Poland, Finland, Israel,  Bulgaria, and the Ukraine.  This is their first visit to the United States. Their newest album,  “The Light” was  recorded in Moscow, guest-starring the great Roswell Rudd on the trombone.
