Ukrainian bass player Ark Ovrutski is big enough to perform with the world’s most amazing jazz players.
But he always keeps Ukraine in his heart and mind, inviting jazz stars to see his motherland.
This time he brings Robert Anchipolovsky, a Soviet-born saxophonist from Israel, who is known as one of the best students of legendary American jazzman Phil Woods.
Other musicians – Israeli piano player Roy Assaf and drummer Leon Joyce Junior from Chicago will join them. Singer Tecora Rogers will add a feminine touch to the men’s power on stage.
