Vladimir Vysotski (b. 1982) pianist, composer, electronic musician. Studied classical and jazz piano at Helsinki Pop & Jazz Konservatorio, Polytechnics Stadia and Estonian Music Academy. His music style can best be described as eclectic – getting inspiration from many sources and freely bringing different music styles together to create a fresh new sound.
Vysotski plays in several jazz, funk and experimental bands in the Estonian music scene. The music of his band Xpress Quartet www.myspace.com/xpressquartet incorporates elements of jazz, fusion and pop, creating extremely energetic and positive vibe. The band Eclectic Stories founded in collaboration with Brian Melvin (perc) and Kristjan Mazurtchak (sax) mixes together Indian music rhythms with Nordic jazz sounds. The band Club Eclectic, featuring brilliant jazz, soul and house music singer Sofia Rubina, actively uses live electronica on stage, blending together acoustic samples and electronic beats with live performance. Both bands' music samples are available at www.myspace.com/wysotski.
