"Yardbird Suite" from the DVD "The Moscow Sax Quin
This video features The Moscow Sax Quintet performing the song "Yardbird Suite," from the DVD "The Moscow Sax Quintet: The Jazznost Tour."
The Moscow Sax Quintet, led by Vladimir Zaremba, is one of the finest Jazz groups in the world. During their premiere U.S. tour, the MSQ and their not only received critical acclaim, but proved that music is the universal language by perfectly capturing the Jazz feeling with their mastery of the American art form, particularly with their arrangements of classics by Fat Waller and The Beatles. When they interpret Charlie Parker's improvised solos, playing them in 5-part harmony at a breakneck speed (as if they were one instrument), you can hear the mastery of their skill in the music. Long famous for their virtuosity in the classical arena, Russian musicians have not exactly been at the forefront of the Jazz scene. However, if the Moscow Sax Quintet is any indication, there is good reason to believe they will secure their place in the world of Jazz.
