This is the third album I’ve reviewed by Russian-born jazz artist Eugene Maslov, and I’ve yet to be disappointed.

Maslov, a classically trained pianist who swings, has technique to spare and a talent for split- second decision-making that never lets him down. Whatever the path, he’s always walking in the right direction. And walking is what he does best and most often on The Fuse Is Lit, eloquently interpreting half a dozen of his own compositions, the standards “One for My Baby” and “The Masquerade Is Over” and John Lewis’s haunting eulogy to the renowned gypsy guitarist, “Django.”

As on his most recent album, The Face of Love, Maslov invites some friends to sit in. Tenor saxophonist Pete Christlieb blows hot on Maslov’s “Guru” and “Entente,” flautist Hubert Laws on those two and another of Maslov’s compositions, the mellow “Dream of Dreams.” Drummer Joe LaBarbera replaces Vinnie Colaiuta on “Sometime, Somewhere, Somehow . . .,” “Django” and “Masquerade,” but one can scarcely notice the difference, as both he and Colaiuta are talented accompanists with only one solo between them, LaBarbera’s on “Masquerade.” Maslov, who plays the last number, “One for My Baby,” by himself, is a competent writer, but the most agreeable tracks (to me) are the others, “Baby,” “Masquerade” and “Django.” Perhaps familiarity actually breeds fondness. Certainly Maslov plays well throughout, as do Colaiuta, bassist Boris Koslov and their guests.

This is another feather in Maslov’s cap, and a fairly accurate measure of his continuing growth as a Jazz artist, which is quite impressive, to say the least. (Jack Bowers)

Born in Russia but long an American, Eugene Maslov is a talented and versatile pianist who is heard at his best throughout this release. Most of the selections feature Maslov in a trio with bassist Boris Kozlov and either Vinnie Colaiuta or Joe LaBarbera on drums. Flutist Hubert Laws is on three songs, two of which also include tenor saxophonist Pete Christlieb, while the closing "One for My Baby" is an unaccompanied piano solo. Both Laws and Christlieb add a lot in their guest appearances, although Maslov is the main star. The music ranges from straight-ahead to a bit funky (particularly "Entente"). Maslov shows off the influence of Chick Corea in spots (especially on the opening "To My Teacher/To My Friend"), displays very impressive technique, and he can certainly swing up a storm. His six originals are all fun to hear, but it is the three standards ("Django," "One for My Baby," and a blazing version of "The Masquerade Is Over") that take honors. Highly recommended. (Scott Yanow)

Russian emigre Eugene Maslov brought his classical background, prodigious technique and love for jazz with him when he landed in Los Angeles in 1989. He tried the Apple for a while, played Carnegie Hall and assorted jam sessions, but he wasn't in a New York state of mind and moved to Philadelphia in 2000.

When his manager, former Jazz Crusader Stix Hooper, became an exec with Mack Avenue Records, Maslov emigrated from Brownstone Records to Mack Ave. This is his third album for the label. Enough bio. Now for an even shorter review: Maslov is a monster on piano.

When he lets out all his Russian intensity, as he does on his original, "The Witch," Maslov can be all-consuming, diabolical, sweeping all over the keyboard like a Russian blizzard. No minimalist, he. Alternating between the styles of his two favorites, Oscar Peterson and Bill Evans, Maslov consumes the keyboard on "The Masquerade Is Over," "To My Teacher/To My Friend," "Guru" and "Entente." On the last two, guests Hubert Laws, flute, and Pete Christlieb, tenor (heard on about half of the tracks), hold their own with Maslov. Drummer Joe La Barbera shows up on three cuts.

To balance the ferocity of his attack, Maslov turns poetic on "Django" and particularly on the solo track "One for My Baby," which is beautifully reharmonized. Another well-written original, "Dream of Dreams," begins romantically, but after Laws' gentle solos, Maslov tends to unleash the demon. With that much technique, how can one hold back? (Harvey Siders)
