Nothing But Illusion by Ilona Kudina I could never imagine that it would be so simple. You would come into my life through the darkness of Spring. Is it true or illusion? Pure sensual bliss. Maybe you’re my delusion? You are all that I miss. Caring sweet little details fill my heart with desire. Yet I fear to believe in the certainty of now. The moment washes over me, and I surrender to your kiss. Peace that passes understanding ... Hold on - am I dreaming this? I am holding your hand, I am kissing your lips. I am losing my soul, I’m embracing all this. Do I know what I see? Are you playing with me? We are one for a time, but you’ll never be mine. You’ll never, you’ll never be mine. Is it true or illusion? Pure sensual bliss. Maybe you’re my delusion? You are all that I miss.

Legendary drummer Billy Hart, Berklee faculty member Greg Hopkins on trumpet, together with two bright lights of the younger generation of jazz players, pianist Vardan Ovsepian and bassist Akili Jamal Haynes, join Kudina in playing their own tunes and arrangements in a sensual, cosmopolitan, creative hybrid of American and European jazz styles.
