A.k.a. Igor Butman

The best Russian saxophone player, Igor Butman was born and first became known in Leningrad. Later he moved to the USA. After studying Berkeley School of Music and living five years in NYC, he is fairly well known and enjoys high reputation as a musician in the US. Through work with the world's leading jazzmen and owing to the inside knowledge of the New York jazz scene, he acquired a real American glamour. At present Igor Butman lives alternatively in Moscow and in New York. He tours Russia with American musicians and records in America with the Russians. Boheme Music catalogue contains a recording of his project called The Four Brothers. The project features two brothers Butman (Igor's brother Oleg is a drummer and lives in New York) and brothers Ivanov - Mikhail, who is the pianist, and Andrei, the acoustic bass player. The four musicians share the experience of working outside Russia and have similar tastes in music - modern, highly energetic, rich both technically and emotionally.
