Andrew Krasilnikov
Andrew Krasilnikov is a standout saxophonist, composer, and arranger with performance credits across two continents. Having played and recorded alongside legends of the US jazz scene such as Dave Liebman, Billy Cobham, Terry Lynne Carrington, and Jon Faddis, as well as Russian icons German Lukyanov and Alex Rostockiy, Krasilnikov took his wealth of experience and pushed it forward, pioneering his own ensembles and developing his own style as a bandleader. Krasilnikov’s upcoming album, Bloody Belly Comb Jelly stands as a testament to his time working alongside the greats as he tastefully blends emotive melody with powerful large ensemble arrangements that utilize instruments outside the typical big band idiom to accentuate his core quartet’s reflective playing. Bloody Belly Comb Jelly will be released on September 29 via Rainy Days Records.

One of the Phoenix's brightest lights, pianist-composer-vocalist Rachel Eckroth, who has ably added depth to the music of such polar opposites as Chris Botti, Rufus Wainwright, and St. Vincent, leaves no stone unturned in The Garden, her darkly convincing, Rainy Day Records debut. It is immediately apparent that Eckroth hears things unlike the rest of us. Her music is a prowling evolution, full of darkness yet attainable, redeemable light. Without hesitancy, she shapes and seizes, assembles, dissects, and ...
