Possibly the most significant jazz pianist in Southeastern Europe.
A must-hear for a jazz appraiser.

Oleg Kireyevtrumpet, saxophone, mainstream jazz. Croatia/Russia

Ãëàâíàÿ
Branko Sterpin is one of the top Croatia jazz trumpet players (HGU award 2018) both at home and on the international scene. He began his career while studying at Austrian Graz College Of Music, and since then has worked regularly on the Balkan and European jazz scene. Branko Sterpin has recorded many critically acclaimed CDs under his own name.

Oleg Kireyev iis one of the few jazz musicians on the modern Russian scene who is brilliantly versed in the variety of jazz styles, genres and directions. He is equally excellent in the jazz mainstream, in fusion and world music.
"Incredibly good", "Stylish and top-notch" are all phrases music critics have written about his voice on saxophone. He has performed at the London Jazz Festival and the Montreux Jazz Festival, to name a few. Legendary musician Bud Shank says: "Oleg's playing is a marvelous combination of styles, incorporating a whole lot of players. I hear echoes of the 1920’s and John Coltrane combined with unstructured jazz."
