The album was recorded in August 2011 in New York at “Systems Two” studio. Oleg and Natalia gathered the pick of NY scene for the session: Donny MacCaslin, Mike Rodriguez, Leon “Foster” Thomas, Danton Boller and rapper Joshua Gahn added their incredible groove, licks and chops to the duo’s pieces. “We knew in advance what each of these amazing musicians can bring to our music. And that’s why we were so happy, that all of them could join us in the right time and place”, - says Oleg.
“Runway” thrills with a huge variety of styles: modern acoustic maistream and charming jazz ballads are combined with calypso and power jazz tracks on the album. Due to ingenious and even surprising arrangements famous jazz standards (the track list contains “The Man I Love” and “The Nearness of You”) sound in a new edgy way. Other 9 pieces recorded on the album represent a new portion of great original music written by Oleg and Natalia! Igor Butman Music Group
