Yelena Eckemoff
Pianist/composer Yelena Eckemoff entered the artistic world as a young classical pianist in the Soviet Union. [1] Having studied both classical and jazz, she has performed in concert halls and with experimental jazz/rock ensembles.[2] She left the Soviet Union and has been living the USA since 1991, where she developed a discography as an independent recording artist. [3] Over the course of years, she has produced a number of recordings of her original, arranged, and classical music under the independent label, L & H Production. Her original music has been acclaimed as intelligent, reflective, sometimes dark and edgy, diverse and sentimentality-free romantic. It is rooted in the modern classical approach, much influenced by jazz and world music.[4]
