With all the talk of Russia and Ukraine in the news these days, I've been thinking about the music of the Soviet era. Despite the whole Cold War thing, US musical influences proved pervasive in the Soviet Union, including jazz, soul, and funk. I'm loving this jam, too. I am quite certain the USSR and the modern states of the former USSR are an untapped reservoir of excellent or at least interesting music.
