Jazz ensemble Billy's Band is slated to rock the Academy Jazz Club on the 19th of March.
Billy's Band Brings Their Unique Blend of Jazz to Moscow
Billy's Band, the popular DIY jazz group from St. Petersburg, Russia, is set to perform at the Academic Jazz Club on Arbat, 38, on March 19. The concert starts at 20:30 Moscow time.
Founded in 2001 by Billy Novick and Andrey Reznikov, Billy's Band has established a distinctive style that fuses traditional jazz elements with contemporary influences, creating a vibrant and eclectic sound. Their music is a unique blend of blues, swing, jazz, and rock, which resonates with a wide audience in Russia and beyond.
The band's background as a DIY project highlights their independent approach to music-making, emphasizing creativity outside mainstream commercial constraints. They manage tasks such as album production, promotion, concert organization, and touring, which not everyone can manage.
In the past, Billy's Band referred to themselves as a "funeral dixieland band with an endless happy ending". However, their current style is more accurately described as "romantic alcohol-jazz", a testament to their evolution and growth as a band.
Billy's Band has a discography that includes five studio albums, three live albums, three singles, and several compilations. They have gained popularity through their distinctive sound and independent music production approach, and have performed at major jazz festivals in the USA and Canada.
The age restriction for the concert is 16+. Tickets for the concert can be booked at a specific website. Billy's Band's unique humor is noted to have a subtle, unique influence on Moscow residents. Don't miss this opportunity to experience the dynamic and accessible sound of Billy's Band live!
