Composer, arranger, and saxophonist Andrew Krasilnikov explores the art of musical reflection with Bloody Belly Comb Jelly, an album for a large jazz ensemble with sensibilities drawn from classical instrumentation, out September 29 via Rainy Days Records.

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. 

Krasilnikov’s new album was born - as many of the most salient ideas are - organically. After graduating from Berklee College of Music in 2009, Krasilnikov lived and worked in New York City, performing and learning from the masters of the craft with whom he was regularly interacting. In 2011, he felt the time had come for him to return to his roots, and he moved back to Moscow, but he brought with him his rich experiences and knowledge gained during his time spent in Boston and NYC. Since returning to Moscow, Krasilnikov has consistently been leading a rotation of bands and settled on a steady crew of personnel. With this group, he has had the compositional freedom to experiment and refine his aesthetic tastes and musical personality as a bandleader. After regularly performing a portfolio of his compositions for many years with this quartet, Krasilnikov distilled down to an album’s length the pieces that stood out the most and had grown of their own accord into something more than mere charts. These seven pieces have been shaped not only by Krasilnikov’s continuing growth as a bandleader and writer but also by the personalities and performances of the personnel in his quartet. After the pieces were chosen and the band was ready to record, Krasilnikov was struck by an idea: to channel his passion for arranging and combine it with the personalities of the musicians in his ensemble. In short, Krasilnikov sought to create new, large-form arrangements for these charts in such a way that would highlight the strengths and 
individuality of his musical peers. The end result was a scintillating array of orchestrations that stepped past the normative big band and into a quasi-Gil Evans realm. Featuring orchestral woodwinds from piccolo down to bass clarinet, more mellow brass instruments like the flugelhorn and tuba, as well as a marimba, Krasilnikov’s arrangements present a pensive emotiveness first in a way that has seldom been seen in contemporary jazz.

RADHIKA DE SARAM   

PRESENTS THE BRAND NEW ALBUM  
"FROM THE CROW’S NEST "

RELEASED 24th NOVEMBER 2023

From The Crow’s Nest is the forthcoming album from the innovative composer and multi-instrumentalist Radhika de Saram. Born in Sri Lanka to a family of classical musicians, Radhika de Saram moved to London at age 5, where she studied violin and piano with Igor Petrushevski at both the primary and junior departments of the Royal Academy of Music, subsequently became the leader of the String Sinfonia and then the highly selective Chamber Orchestra.  
  
Later having been granted the Helmore Music Scholarship at Mill Hill School, at the age of sixteen Radhika won a Specialist Music Award to study at Wells Cathedral School in Somerset. It was during her time there that she developed an interest in jazz, listening ardently to a
a handful of her favourite records by Thelonius Monk, Oscar Peterson, Keith Jarrett and Pat Metheny.   
  
This was the inspiration that gradually led to Radhika’s unique development as an artist, with
her creative endeavours gradually leading to recording and performing regularly with the London Contemporary Orchestra and Chineke! Orchestra at prestigious venues such as the Barbican, the Royal Albert Hall and the Royal Festival Hall. Radhika has also recorded violin on the soundtracks for films such as ‘All Quiet on the Western Front which won an Oscar for Best Music, ‘The Matrix Resurrection, ‘Tar’, ‘Overlord’ and ‘One Life’ and for albums by
bands such as The National and The Smile amongst others, as well as performing as part of a string section with rock and pop icons such as Grace Jones, Alicia Keys, Eric Clapton and Little Simz. This wealth of experience is a fascinating journey to a professional level and a clear demonstration of Radhika’s prowess as a highly skilled and diverse musician and composer.  
  

Around six years ago Radhika bought a bass guitar, after watching a trio of Tim Lefebvre, Zhenya Strigalev and Eric Harland perform. As she explains: “It was eye-opening to see how three musicians who barely ever have the chance to play together or even to get to know
each other, click immediately and communicate in the most conversational way through music.” Radhika began to realise what a versatile instrument the bass guitar was - its ability
to be virtuosic, melodic, or really part of the rhythmic groove and much more, and was
excited to observe the variety in which different bass players use and connect with the instrument.   
  
Since the Covid pandemic, Radhika has focused her attention on developing her style on bass guitar and writing her own compositions. From The Crow’s Nest is Radhika’s debut album. The majority of these tunes were written during the lockdown and was her first time
composing. Musical influences include folk music from her native country, Sri Lanka, as well as jazz and other styles she’s encountered while travelling and while working in London.
Some of the music has also been shaped by memories of her childhood. Through the pieces on this album, Radhika hopes to convey her feelings of exploring new territory as well as some nostalgic contemplations.

Despair

Common Mutations is a completely unplanned, improvised set of songs which were recorded during The Garden Sessions at Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas.  Eckroth and Lefebvre spent a large amount of time during the pandemic improvising in a room of keyboards, modular synths, effects pedals and drum machines. The idea was to bring this into a studio setting with a live drummer, then hand it over to producer/engineer Jason Kingsland to add and subtract and play with effects during the mixing process.  The end result is wild.

Igor Yakovenko Trio presents it’s new album “Hyperfocus”. 
All compositions are written by Yakovenko and the name of the record is based on the idea of ​​developing the depth of the music, but not the volume of it, concentrating on a small amount of information and endless listening. This minimalist approach to jazz helps the listener to focus deeply on one emotion and explore, and feel it as much as possible.


“Ideas are like fish. If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you’ve got to go deeper.” – D. Lynch

Makar Novikov  is one of the best known Russian jazz double bassists. An experienced accompanist and virtuoso soloist, he has performed with artists like Jimmy Cobb, Clark Terry, Jimmy Heath and James Spaulding. 


The Change is the new album by saxophonist Zhenya Strigalev and guitarist Federico Dannemann. The two internationally renowned musicians met at the Royal Academy of Music over fourteen years ago and have performed together since Dannemann joined Strigalev’s Never Group in 2016.

The album represents major recent changes in the artists’ personal lives – Strigalev moved back to Russia after over a decade of developing his music in London and Dannemann returned to performance after years of teaching in Santiago. “Change promotes the idea that we need to keep changing always. To not stay in the same place even if it is comfortable. Especially in jazz,” says Strigalev. “It’s only “right” when it keeps moving and changing. So by calling the project and album ‘The Change’ we also remind ourselves what we love about music and why we are doing it.”

The album features two of the most highly demanded New York jazz musicians - Obed Calvaire on drums and Luques Curtis on double bass, who met Strigalev through his celebrated concert series at Charlie Wright’s in London. “Obed and Luques play with a number of A-list world-famous artists, but the pair are also very close friends and this really adds to the atmosphere in the band. They add some family vibe and everybody starts feeling more comfortable and open,” explains Strigalev. “The unique thing about the album is that it covers lots of different spectrums of state of mind: calm, active, thoughtful, romantic, energetic, relaxed, focused!”

///////////////

“A typical Strigalev collision of hip jazz virtuosity and surrealism . . . Strigalev's alto displays bebop agility, shivery lyricism, or sometimes a bluesy Ornetteish swerves." – The Guardian ★★★★

"Always it's a surreal, impressive brew" – Jazzwise ★★★★

New album due out 13th March via Rainy Days Records

JZ Replacement is a dynamic new international project from saxophonist Zhenya Strigalev (Ambrose Akinmusire, Eric Harland) and drummer Jamie Murray (Sun Ra Arkestra, Native Dancer).

Frequent collaborators and quiet stalwarts of the London jazz scene, the duo have been racking up vast acclaim performing independently and alongside the finest the genre has to offer. Having performed together in Jamie Murray’s solo project "Beat Replacement" just two years ago, they discovered a natural symbiosis and appreciation for free-flowing experimentation. This inspired them to explore their individual playing styles and influences and work together to refine their collaboration into something more precise without compromising on the pliability that their recently found connection has afforded them.

Both Zhenya and Jamie have covered an enormous amount of sonic terrain in their own rights before meeting, and the amalgamation of their most consummate ideas are now being combined to create something that is all at once organic, original, frenetic and highly danceable. Whilst some easy comparisons to their more traditional sensibilities are easily made, their new album ‘Disrespectful’ draws on elements of Breakbeat, Eastern European folk and free jazz, whilst also calling to mind a broad spectrum of influences from the likes of John Zorn to David Bowie to Zach Hill and Miles Davis.

JZ Replacement’s serendipitous partnership has also inspired the duo to look further afield to develop and challenge their sound. In this vein, the album was recorded with LA bass master, Tim Lefebvre (David Bowie, Wayne Krantz, Elvis Costello, Donny McCaslin, Mark Guiliana). Zhenya has already played and recorded with Tim on various projects, including many of their own gigs and their last release.

Their new album ‘Disrespectful’ is an incredibly unique listen, building on a sound that has seen them fast become one of the key proponents of the scene, having already successfully performed at Love Supreme Festival, Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, London Jazz Festival, Porto Jazz Festival, Rainy Days Festival and Jazz Province Festival. They have also toured internationally across the UK, Germany, Austria, Spain and Russia, and have further dates planned for 2020.
