Yuriy Galkin Nonet - Nine Of A Kind

Contemporary 9-piece jazz orchestra playing Yuriy Galkin's original composition & arrangements. Yuriy Galkin is an award-winning composer, jazz musician and bandleader based in London, UK.The album presents seven of Yuriy Galkin's original works and features some most prominent UK jazz musicians such as Freddie Gavita (British Rising Star Jazz Award, Empirical), John Turville (Parliamentary Jazz Award, Tim Garland), Dave Hamblett and George Crowley among others.Galkin's writing temptingly hinted at salsa vamps which were twisted into contrastingly arrhythmic figures, before resolving briefly into conventionally blaring big-band riffs'.
