Russian Free Jazz (1981) (Вячеслав Ганелин, Владимир Тарасов, Владимир Чекасин) / Born in Moscow, Ganelin played in jazz and dance bands as a teenager. He attended the Lithuanian State Conservatory in Vilnius, graduating in 1968. The next year, he formed a duo with Tarasov and two years later, they were joined by Chekasin and the Ganelin Trio was born. The group performed at the Warsaw Jazz Jamboree in 1976; that year they also released their first album - Con Anima - on Melodiya, the Soviet state record label. The group eventually played jazz festivals all over Europe and the U.S. before disbanding in 1987.
