Alissid Jazz

Journalists hailed Alissid Jazz as "21st-century jazz," comparing their experiments to Pink Floyd's Pompeii concerts and describing the sound as a "rich cocktail of vibrant jazz improvisations and musical experiments with ethnic overtones." Indeed, Alissid Jazz exemplifies modern fusion: an intricate blend of styles, innovation, and bold sonic experimentation—an intellectual synthesis of avant-garde, ethno-acid-jazz, ambient, and world music, grounded in progressive and authentic rhythms from funk and bossanova to drum'n'bass, breakbeat, and jungle. Since 1996, the project has evolved through diverse albums including electronic-trance Ё-dance (2001), avant-garde-jazz Animal Fashion (2005), fusion-focused Tapes on Trees (2007), and ethnically-infused collaborative work with Tuvan shaman Nikolai Oorzhak. Alissid Jazz compositions air on FM Brussel, Radio France, and stations across Portugal and Barbados, with frequent radio performances and TV segments on Kultura and MTV. For two consecutive years, tracks have been featured in the Cityjazz festival's jazz compilation. Each live performance is unique—a blend of live musicians, song-driven compositions, and improvisational imagery, balancing salon elegance with club-driven energy.
