Since 1988: duo with Mikhail "Misha" Alperin (piano.) Their first ECM album "Wave Of Sorrow" (1989) was the first Russian album on ECM. Later on, Shilkloper participated in two more Alperin recordings for ECM: "North Story" (1997) и "First Impression" (1999, with John Surman.)

In 1990, the Alperin-Shilkloper duo invites Sergey Starostin, a Moscow Conservatory-educated clarinetist and a dedicated researcher of Russian authentic folklore music, which results in the creation of Moscow Art Trio. The trio tours regularly, though its members now live in three different countries; it is one of the most interesting and well-known Ethno Jazz groups from Russia. In Russia, their albums were released by Boheme Music; in Europe, by Jaro.

Arkady Shilkloper currently resides in Wupperthal, Germany. He performs in Russia regularly -- in a trio with vocalist Sergey Starostin and St.Petersburg bassist Vladimir Volkov, and also in various settings with trumpet player Sergey Pron, pianist Andrey Kondakov, bassist Igor Ivanushkin, drummers Oleg Baltaga and Alexander Zinger, etc.

Since 1998, Arkady also plays alphorn, quite an unusual instrument for imnprovised music. Arkady rates one of the best of the few existing jazz performers on alphorn. His Pilatus and Presente Para Moscou albums feature a lot of his alphorn playing.

Аркадйи Шилклопер и его альпийский рог"Los Angeles Times", 26/11/90, by Leonard Feather:
Moscow, Ida  - It is a long trip from Moscow to Moscow, but for Arkady Shilkloper it was worth the effort. The Soviet French horn virtuoso was one of four Jazzmen from the Soviet Union who arrived here last week to take part in the 23rd annual University of Idaho Jazz Festival at his home town's namesake city. Shilkloper, 33, on his first visit to the United States was the artistic sensation of the four-day event.

"Horncall", 1988, by Jeffrey Agrell:
Shilkloper and his bass player swing like nobody's business. He rips and riffs and goes places that horn players aren't supposed to go without a net, map, seat belt, crash helmet, overhead air support, and a note from their mothers. And he does so with extraordinary ease and musicality. I think maybe nobody ever told him "Jazz playing on horn is very difficult, and probably not natural or perhaps the phrase does not translate into Russian. I'd walk a camel a mile to hear this guy.

"Jazz Times", June 1994, by Leonard Feather:
"Another was the incredible Arkady Shilkloper, who brought his French horn from Moscow, Russia to Moscow, Idaho His control of the instrument, and his blowing creativity have set a new standard, even Julius Watkins, his idol never produced such results."

"The Independent", London:
"Unlike other European groups... the Moscow Art Trio don't have to try to sound Post-Modem, they just are, and in a way that is what makes what they play look and sound both utterly contemporary and timeless... Once word gets out, this will be the band to book for every Festival going".
