You're reading: Bass guitar battle

Jazz concerts are a rare find in Kyiv despite the capital’s laid-back mood. Art Club 44 and online.fm radio cooked up a great jazz teaser for the summer hoping to kick start a trend.

Every Tuesday, jazz musicians hit the stage at club 44 located right in the city center.

Three Ukrainian bass titans will compete on Aug 10 next. Artem Lebedev, Nikolai Kistenev and Konstantin Ionenko want to create a show like the famous American jazz trio SMV.

The unique alliance of musicians Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, and Victor Wooten has been on a fan wish list for over 15 years.

The Ukrainian trio is yet to explode but their resume, which inlcudes work with No Smoking Orchestrar and De Phazz, is promising enough to check out the concert.
