What is the project "Alissid Jazz"?
Alexandr “Aliss” Al’O’Khin

I can be on a stage with very different people. I played with rock-musicians, with jazzmen, with rap-musicians, with hip-hopers and many others. Who knows - may be the next time I will be on stage with Old men and old women playing on old rusty saucepans. And anyway it will be "ALISSID JAZZ "!

Aliss - the Author of idea, arrangements and songs.
Saxes (soprano, baritone), a flute -bansuri, a block - flute, dijeridoo, overtoning and subtoning singing, vocal

In 1986 Aliss realized the project ”Alissid Jazz”: through the sound experiments to the live avant-garde acid jazz. Last time acid jazz mixed on modern rhythms (jungle, drum’n’base…) with ethno-scaled themes and spontaneous improvisations predominates in “Alissid Jazz” style.

About Aliss:
He studied at Belgorod Music College on bassoon class, and at Leningrad Jazz College on jazz-bass class. A few years Aliss worked at Belgorod (Belgorod Regional Philharmonic Orchestra, restaurant “Gostionsky”, casino “Fortuna”, “Art-club”, culture center “Rusitch”…). He is the founder of commercial jazz in Belgorod and the President of the First Belgorod Art-club. Also He worked at Saint-Petersburg (clubs: “Ten”, “Art-clinic”, “Red”, “Open Music”, “New Age Centre”…).
Last 3 years Aliss lives and works at Moscow, basically concentrating on festival activity.

The most pleasant events of last years are:
