My Take
Khoroshev's story is the kind I find quietly thrilling. A Moscow-trained keyboardist and composer who landed in Yes, the British prog-rock institution, from 1997 to 2000, he crossed a serious cultural and technical border to do it. Progressive rock is unforgiving terrain, demanding both virtuosity and architectural thinking, so being handed the keys in a band of that pedigree is no small endorsement. Even a brief tenure leaves fingerprints on a legendary catalog. I have a soft spot for musicians who, even for a moment, write themselves into someone else's monument.
