Slava Ganelin is a veteran Russian pianist. Although he’s been around for a long time, his stuff is really far out.

He uses little percussion instruments and a keyboard. I like him a lot. His stuff is interesting and sophisticated, and he does a lot of virtuoso tricks that I think are very clever. Check out this video if you’re ready for some super hardcore music (it is a short section of a long piece I filmed at a jazz festival in Jerusalem).
