That's when music becomes music, rather than a bunch of notes.\" on his sixth CD for Reservoir, Ponomarev lives up to his creed, and, like his former Jazz Messenger mentor Art Blakey, he brings out the best in his sidemen on all of his albums. Here, he's joined by tenor saxophonist Michael Karn, pianist Sid Simmons, bassist Martin Zenker \u0026amp; drummer Jimmy Cobb.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Driving to a Gig, No. 2 \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Messenger from Russia \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Long Distance Relationship \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Escape from Gorki Park \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Dark Alley \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Stardust \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Mirage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
