Yelena Eckemoff music modern jazz “Pianist/composer Yelena Eckemoff works in that rarified area between modern classical chamber music and progressive jazz.

Born and raised in Russia, Eckemoff attended the Moscow State Conservatory, where she studied concert piano and grew up in a strong classical foundation. She came to the United States before the collapse of the Soviet Union [in 1991], and continues to compose and perform.” (Warren Allen)
Yelena has been writing music for different instruments and voice, experimenting with electronic music, playing

and recording solo as well as with her bands, and always searching for the new ways to express herself in music. She has produced number of records under the independent label, L & H Production, available worldwide as audio CDs and digital downloads. In 2009 she recorded a CD entitled “Cold Sun” with Mads Vinding and Peter Erskine, which marks a new stage in her musical journey. “…The session paints sonar pictures of the lingering winter season. Eckemoff’s original compositions converse with the incredible work of the celebrated Danish bassist Mads Vinding and are aided by Peter Erskine’s drumming brilliance. Flawless interplay between these three fantastic musicians beholds a mutual understanding and concord on an exceedingly deep level....The music on “Cold Sun” flows genuinely and demonstrates not only the compositional talents of Eckemoff, but also the extraordinary interplay between the trio. Uniqueness of this striking music and the unsurpassed mastery of its performance make “Cold Sun” a stand out on the front row of the finest modern jazz and chamber records out today.” (Chris DiGirolamo)
‘All About Jazz’ reviewer Warren Allen also wrote: “Built around a winter theme, the album finds the three players exploring a sparse, almost desolate sonic territory. What stands out most in these wide-open spaces is the tremendous chemistry between the musicians. With Danish bassist Mads Vinding and drummer Peter Erskine—two veterans who work with the best jazz company—the band communicates in a way that evokes an easy mood and the sounds of nature…. Lovers of the great piano trios found on the ECM label (such as those led by pianists Bobo Stenson, Tord Gustavsen, and Marcin Wasilewski) will find a lot to like in this potentially overlooked self production. But so will anyone who enjoys relaxing music with some depth to it.”
Jon Neudorf mentioned in his review for the ‘Sea of Tranquility:’ “…All three musicians work beautifully together intertwining compositional form and improvisation seemingly at will. Eckemoff's edgy piano textures weave around the outstanding rhythm play of Erskine and Vinding and all three excel in the free form jazz style.”
“Cold Sun” (released in April 2010) CD was pronounced by Warren Allen at All About Jazz as one of the best releases of 2010. The follow-up to wintry ”Cold Sun” was an album entitled “Grass Catching the Wind” (released in July 2010) with Mads Vinding on double-bass and Morten Lund on drums. It offers an exciting exploration of the seasons of spring, summer and fall. Chris Spector, an editor and publisher of Midwest Record, said about this album: “Leading an impressionistic trio that leans more toward ECM than Windham Hill, this is introspective music for the neo-classical fan that knows how to recognize the real deal. Solidly made.”
In August 2010 Yelena has recorded yet another trio album, “Flying Steps,” with Peter Erskine on drums and Darek Oleszkiewicz on double-bass, released in December 2010.
