Marina Sobyanina – composition,piano, vocals
Oleg Mariakhin – baritone saxophone
Sergey Balashov – drums, toys

Schon vor 2 Jahren war diese ungewöhnliche Band mit ihrer Lead Sängerin Marina Sobyanina im Loft zu Gast und hat so viel Eindruck hinterlassen, dass wir sie wieder eingeladen haben.

JAZZATOR is a young trio that has embarked upon an adventurous mission of blending together neo-classical music, free improvisation and wild post-breakbeat grooving.  The result is a powerful iconoclastic sound and an exciting action that takes place on stage.   The band consists of a pianist/singer Marina Sobyanina, a baritone sax player Oleg Mariakhin and a drummer Sergey Balashov. The three musicians have fun with odd meters and intense textures and at the same time don’t compromise the melodic beauty of their compositions. Curiously, the trio’s music has been compared by the same critic to both Acoustic Ladyland and works of Sergei Prokofiev. Original compositions by Marina Sobyanina get further enlivened by improvised acrobatics on the instruments and practical jokes that musicians play on each other and the audience.
