Igor Butman Orchestra "Sheherazade"

In 2010 Igor Butman Orchestra featuring renowned NY jazz artists Sean Jones, Kathy Jenkins, Peter Bernstein and James Burton presented crossover program “Sheherazade’s tales” at “Cherry Forest” festival in Moscow. The program included Nikolay Levinovsky’s jazz arrangements of Russian romances and symphonic suite “Sheherazade” by N.A.Rimsky-Korsakov. It’s no surprise that such original fusion of classic and jazz music became a revelation for audience and mass media, because hardly anyone connected such polar musical worlds with such ingenuity before. Live album “Sheherazade’s tales had been recorded at the concert and was releases at Butman Music Records this November.
