The Moscow Sax Quintet is considered one of the finest Jazz groups in the world. They launched their Western career with a series of concerts in the U.S. appropriately named the The Jazznost Tour. They not only received great critical acclaim from both critics and audiences, but proved that music is the universal language by showcasing the groundbreaking group's mastery of the American art form.Founded in 1987 by Vladimir Zaremba, a professor at the Moscow Philharmonic Society, the group consists of five saxophonists along with a rhythm section and plays a variety of reed instruments such as Soprano Sax, Alto Sax, Baritone, Sax, Tenor Sax, & Clarinet, in a style that fans have described as a more refined Jazz, in the spirit of SuperSax.This special DVD features the distinctive group on the last stop of their premiere international tour. The group has perfectly captured the Jazz feeling with their magical sound, particularly of Zaremba's arrangements of classics by Fat Waller and The Beatles. When they interpret Charlie Parker's improvised solos, playing them in 5-part harmony at a breakneck speed , you can hear the mastery of their skill in the music.Long famous for their virtuosity in the classical arena, Russian musicians have not exactly been at the forefront of the Jazz scene. However, if the Moscow Sax Quintet is any indication, there is good reason to believe they will secure their place in the world of Jazz.SONG SELECTION:1. In the Mood2. Yardbird Suite3.
