Russia/USA based Jazz Prog artist Yelena Eckemoff published the official live in studio video for the track “Pilgrims” from upcoming album “Scenes From the Dark Ages” due out on March 28, 2025. Watch the video through the YouTube player below:

Infusing spellbinding Progressive Rock and Jazz with a Medieval concept and delivered by a top-tier ensemble, “Scenes From The Dark Ages” immerses the listener in a nearly-two-hour surrealistic and spellbinding experience.

Yelena’s newest album is not a rendering of early-music tropes in Modern Jazz feels. Rather, in her writing on this album Yelena synthesizes classical music constructs and her original melodies with the varied rhythmic and stylistic innovations of Jazz, Fusion and World Music from the 21st century. Beyond this, she invests each moment of the album with her own sense of delight in leading and performing this unique material.” – Suzanne Lorge

Scenes From The Dark Ages” was written and produced by Yelena Eckemoff who performs piano, organ, clavichord, celesta, synths, and she is joined by Riccardo Bertuzzi (electric guitar), Carlo Nicita (soprano, alto, and bass flutes), Eloisa Manera (acoustic and electric violin), Riccardo Oliva (electric bass) and leading World Jazz/Fusion scene drummer Trilok Gurtu (drums and percussion). The album was recorded over three days in August 2023 at Digitube Studio in Mantua, Italy, with the recording, mixing, and mastering handled by Carlo Cantini.
