The Ways of Freedom is a solo piano album by Sergey Kuryokhin.
Releases and reception
The album was first released by the Soviet label Melodiya.[2] It was reissued by Leo Records.[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz wrote that Kuryokhin "can sound as tightly disciplined as a classical pianist and as vividly intense and rapid-fingered as [Art] Tatum."[2] The AllMusic reviewer concluded: "This is an incredible document and shouldn't be missed by any serious student of avant-garde piano."[1]
