Siberian Dixieland

Siberian Dixieland  under the direction of the Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Boris BALAKHNIN was organized in the end of 1988. Since its creation the orchestra has been actively touring in the cities and republics of the former USSR, and from 1991 also abroad. Musicians have taken part in the Jazz Festivals of Finland, Estonia, Netherlands, Germany, and China.
In 1994, being already a philharmonic group, the Siberian Jazz Band organized its personal season ticket and edited its first CD.
Peculiarity of the artistic image of the Siberian Jazz Band is the willing of playing some late compositions of "swing" era together with music of New-Orleans style. The musicians of the ensemble are individuals, together with the leader the outstanding instrumentalists such as Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Sergey Gershenovitch (trumpet), Igor Guluy (keyboard instruments, arrangement), Sergey Panasenko (tuba, double-bass), Sergey Poliansky (trombone), Alexander Bazanov (drums) compose the group.
Siberian Dixieland  took part in all Jazz festivals held in Novosibirsk.
The professional level of the musicians is widely appreciated and their invitation to the prestigious american Jazz festival August Costa Mesa Orange Countu Jazz Festival proves it. The success of the musicians surpassed everybodys expectations: Siberian Jazz Band was named one of the three best commercial dixielands in the USA, and its admirers created a fan-club in America. Since then, Siberian Jazz Band is regularly invited to the festival August Costa Mesa Orange Countu Jazz Festival.
In 2002 Siberian Jazz Band had a successful concert on a European jazz festival in Montreaux (Switzerland).
