Moon Jazz
Three years ago I began to perform with jazz musicians (as an experiment and new interesting experience).
At first I was mostly inspired by the songs, performed by Billie Holiday in 40s and 50s. Then, little by little, jazz and blues became the part of me. I enjoy swinging! And I LOVE blues. Today it’s my profession, that’s very exciting and never a burden.
The basis of Moon Jazz is our collaboration with the pianist, Igor Yakovenko. I love his playing.
Igor and I perform in duo and in quartets.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We play live much, several times a week. I wouldn't do it, if I didn't like it.
Your musical influences
If we take only my jazz/blues musical background (apart from other influences), these are primarily Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Sarah Waughan.
Being a jazz musician, Igor studies classical academic piano as well and is greatly influenced both by jazz and by classical music (and by classical jazz music as well as by modern jazz and avantgarde instrumental music. Oh!))..terms)
What equipment do you use?
By me? Vocal cords. And a microfon.
Anything else?
