Alko Trio, a power trio hailing from Moscow, Russia was founded in 2004 by professional musicians. Before Alko Trio, all members were involved in various musical projects. Anton Davidyantz, a jazz bassist, played with Igor Butman, a well-known Russian sax player. Denis Popov, drummer, was part of the Russian version “Jesus Christ Superstar” as well as playing in rock band “Grim Brother”. Fiodor Dosumov is the guitarist of “A’Studio”, a well-known Russian fusion group. Their debut album sounds professional, which is not surprising. Scott Henderson, Steve Vai and Allan Holdsworth have an obvious influence on their music, but they are still original in compositions and musicianship. Eric Marienthal, a US saxophonist, was a guest on their debut (on 2 compositions).
