As Andrey Makarevich, the leader of group the Time Machine, not the jazz vocalist, he uses chanson intonations, an emotional recitative, this manner of performance inserts wise pauses, as it is specially created for chamber looking jazz club. In repertoire of the concert program there will be "evergreen" jazz hits, and songs of Andrey's own composition.
 
A’Cappella ExpreSSS is the livewire vocal jazz group from Moscow. Their "voices instead of instruments" reach out to their audience in a style that’s totally unexpected, totally unique. They skillfully imitated orchestral instruments, from the double bass, bass guitar and drums, to flute and trumpet. Whether it’s an interpretation of the jazz, classics or folk song, each is transformed into a new whirl of delightful tune.

The leader of Blues Cousins band, Levan Lomidze is not just simply outstanding guitarist and bluesman, he is also and extraordinary showman. His behaviour on stage during performances does not leave anybody indifferent. The legend of a world blues and a rock'n'roll is the first Russian guitarist recognised in the USA where Levan has in total spent more than 100 concerts, including performances on the most prestigious blues festivals of America.
 
Al Foster, master drummer, has been a major innovator in the world of jazz for several decades. As a member of the Miles Davis band for thirteen years, Foster's contribution to Davis' music is articulated by Davis himself in his 1989 autobiography, Miles: The Autobiography, where Davis describes the first time he heard Foster play live in 1972 at the Cellar Club on 95th Street in Manhattan: 'He [Foster] knocked me out because he had such a groove and he would just lay it right in there. That was the kind of thing I was looking for. AI could set it up for everybody else to play off and just keep the groove going forever." Respected and admired for his keen sensitivity, Foster is known for his unique ability to listen to and playoff others in an almost telepathic way, responding to them with a style that is at once both charismatic and understated. Al Foster, is a great believer in the purity of the music, a genuine artist who continues to push the boundaries of creativity again and again, devoted to preserving and perpetuating the highest standards in jazz today.
 
"...Dennis Rowland brings with him the stage performers ability to convey intimacy in even the most immense of settings. He cannily pulls off an inspired homage to the ultimate larger than life jazz musician" Miles Davis.
