Jazzator

The band Jazzator marries the freedom of jazz to the harmonic vocabulary of contemporary art music and adds the vigor of stadium rock to the mixture. The music of the band often shifts from the mainstream to the vanguard within one song and is based on powerful use of non-conventional vocal parties and rich piano arrangements. The tunes composed by Marina for piano, vocals and drums constitute the most important part of the band’s repertoire. These pieces were inspired by such artists as The Bad Plus, Thelonious Monk, Avishai Cohen, Sergei Rachmaninov and Igor Stravinsky. The core of the band consists of Marina Sobyanina (vocals, piano, composer) and Sergey Balashov (drums) but Jazzator’s live performances as well as the bands’ studio records always feature various guest musicians playing double bass, clarinet, cello, violin, bass-clarinet, flute and other instruments
