EllektraJazz
Russia

EllektraJazz is a jazz-rock retro project by multi-instrumentalist and writer Yuri Vinogradov. Yuri is primarily a pianist and organist, but he also plays guitar, bass, and various electronic instruments. He frames the music of this project with philosophical ideas and a nostalgic 1970s aesthetic. Yuri also writes about the philosophy of classical and academic music, and releases music under the names Pure Violet and EllektraCyclone. Imagine Adrian Younge reinterpreting the legacy of Mahavishnu Orchestra, stepping away from funk and jazz-rock in favor of a blend of blues and dark jazz — that would be EllektraJazz. The project’s main instruments are the Hammond B3 organ, keytar, and Fender Rhodes electric piano.
