Live At Jazz.ru 10th Anniversary Track

Roman Stolyar - piano, melodica, flutesIlia Belorukov - alto & baritone saxophones, fluteophone, fluteAndrey Popovskiy - acoustic guitarFormed in August 2007 during the work on its first album, Dots & Lines is a creative project appeared as a result of collaboration of Siberian pianist and composer Roman Stolyar and improvisers from Saint Petersburg – saxophonist Ilia Belorukov and guitarist Andrey Popovskiy. Participants of the trio have different professional background and experience, but the tendency to construct their spontaneous improvisations in a way which combines freedom of self-expression with attention to its shape and extreme contact between musicians is the thing which unites them deeply. The music vocabulary of Dots & Lines is a mixture of new classical music, contemporary jazz and ethnic sounds; their intuitive compositions are both expressive and intelligent. The first public appearance of the trio has happened in December 2007 at Jazz.Ru festival in Moscow, and its album has been released on Siberian label Ermatell Records.Contact:http://www.myspace.com/dotslinesmusic
