Estrada orchestra
Estrada Orchestra – Eesti põrandaaluse jazz-funky eelkäija aastast 2013, on Tallinnas tegutsev 5-liikmeline orkester. Lõdvalt määratletud žanripiirid ja meisterlikud improvisatsioonid paigutavad ansambli psühhedeelsete gruuvide ja avangardsete helide maailma. Kui neid võiks võrrelda selliste spetsialistidega nagu Herbie Hancock ja Mulatu Astatke, siis tegelikult leiame nende hinge hõimlasi veel kaugemaltki.
Produtsent ja bassimängija Miša Panfilovi helikeel on mõjutatud filmimuusikast, sügavast funkist ja idabloki hämaratest nurgatagustest. Volodja Brodski lisab ansamblile fusion muusika värve klahvpillidel Clavinet ja Rhodes. Mõlemale heliloojale on hingelähedaseks kõik, mis seostub jazziga. Flöödimängija Ilja Gussarov –grupi solist ja šamaan, kelle rituaalidest saab osa iga publikus olija. Sashko Petrov tenorsaksofonil ja perkussioonil lisab juba kirevale retseptile hulkuri hinge. Madis Katkosilt trummidel – koosseisu tugev selgroog oma täpsete ja peenete rütmidega.
Estrada Orchestra esineb laupäeval 27. augustil Sakala Keskuse hoovis spetsiaalselt Rütmifestivali jaoks loodud kavaga!
Estrada Orchestra has been a forerunner of underground Estonian jazz-funk since 2013, they are a 5-piece orchestra based in Tallinn. Loosely defined genres and masterful improvisations places the ensemble in a psychedelic groove and avant-gard world of sounds. When to compare, names like Herbie Hancock and Mulatu Astatke pop into mind, though the list of kinsmen of Estrada is to be found even further.
Producer and bass player Misha Panfilov has influences from film music, deep funk and Eastern Bloc murky obscurities. Volodja Brodsky adds fusion influences behind the Clavinet and Rhodes. Both composers are equally obsessed with all that’s jazz. Flutist Ilja Gussarov, the solist and shaman of the bunch, orchestrates the crowd into a tribe with a vibe that shines in live shows. Sashko Petrov on tenor sax and percussion adds to the already vibrant recipe a soul of a vagabonder. Madis Katkosilt provides a solid backbone with his precise and slick rhythms.
After their self-named début album flew off the shelves in 2015, Estrada Orchestra released their 2nd LP “JAZZBEATJÄÄTIS” in 2017 via French imprint Stereophonk. Having gigged in Tallinn Music Week, Positivus and numerous festivals in Estonia the jazz groove act is ready to take on the international stage with support from the likes of Shawn Lee, Greg Foat and Alain Mion.
In March 2018, the third LP “Vaba” (trnl. “Free”) was released on Detroit’s imprint Funk Night Records. Free psychedelic jazz shines in this LP as the name suggests. Just 5 excellent musicians in a smoky basement, doing what they do best.
Estrada Orchestra will perform on Saturday 27.08 21:00 at Sakala Keskuse hoov.
