Night City

Poetic Jazz Theater is an exclusively studio project. That is why it became possible to involve many great Russian and American musicians in it.
Music is an environment where people understand each other without words. It is an environment which generates mutual trust, admiration of performer’s true craftsmanship which is based on exceptionally hard work, curiosity and strong will. Music is the language that everyone can understand irrespective of their nationality, skin colour and faith.
Poetic Jazz Theater is an instrumental album. However, poems of Nikolay S. Gumilev, which are known for their phenomenal and mystical energy, inspired me to write this music, these melodies and these harmonies...
