Biography
The group "Animal Jazz" is a modest guys from St. Petersburg. Perhaps the only adult people who are changing adolescents are listening to interest. Music, concerts, new rhymes - what artists live every day from the date of the project. The audience loves them for sincerity, and they do not get tired to give her new hits in response.The history of creation and composition
The creative team was created in 2000 in St. Petersburg. Contrary to popular among the rock groups of tradition, the musicians were not young rebar, who dreamed of "breaking" the hall or break the guitar about the floor. Idea leader and the team inspirers Alexander Mikhailovich Krasovitsky at that time was 28 years old.
Before the creation of the group, he managed to move to the northern capital from Magadan, to enroll in St. Petersburg State University at the Faculty of Sociology, teach, get a degree in marketing, to be engaged abroad, marry, to have a child. Nothing foreshadowed the appearance in the biography of the music scene, although Sasha sang, according to his expression, "from God."
The vocals demonstrated in the youthful choir, in a student hostel, but seriously engaged in music, being an adult by a person's passport. In 1999, he found himself at the concert of Zemfira:
"I was set up what was happening on the stage. Then I thought that I would also stand on stage. "The team was formed spontaneously. Vocalist Mikhalych and Bass Gitarist Igor Bulygin played in the general project at that time. Rehearsals were held in one of the St. Petersburg basements, where many performers worked as professionals and amateurs. Once, by having heard the "neighbors" behind the wall, the future frontman suggested playing together.
In addition, in his piggy bank there were developments and unrealized ideas, in the embodiment of which a fresh creative look would not hurt. So the composition of the team has enriched with a back-vocalist with a guitar, keyboard player and drummer.
Considering, with what ease of creative unions disintegrate, especially in the underground party, over the course of many years the team remains a sample of cohesion. Three of the five participants - Krasovitsky (vocals), Bulygin (bass) and Evgeny Ryakhovsky (back and guitar) - come from the moment of foundation. In 2007, Alexander Zarankin (keys), and a year later, Sergey Kiwyn (drums) joined the project.
Above the title thought for a long time. As a result, at one of the sessions, the first drummer of the project Sergey Egorov shared with his colleagues that he played before this in the project with the name "Animal Jazz", but he was alone from his participants alone. At first glance, the story seemed to comrades on the workshop too gloomy. However, when it was time to print posters and leaflets for the first concert, other options were never found. The musicians are "to the inheritance" name and now consider faithful.
More often than other participants in the press there are photos and interviews of the collective soloist. He talks about creative plans, premieres of new clips, songs. The personal life of the vocalist causes the interest of the group's fans. A little known about it.
The singer was in a relationship with Maksim - the creative tandem converts into the novel. The lovers frankly showed feelings in the public during RHCP heating, finishing the performance by a kiss. The singer was devoted to the album "Fast Sleep Phases". But soon the performers broke up. The reasons for the break later told Krasovitsky in an interview with Yuri Dudu. The companion of the musician loved the other.
Tour groups are painted for months ahead. Nevertheless, even in such a tight chart, the time remains for extremisical activity. For example, a soloist leads a popular portal dedicated to underground music. Also, the frontman is seriously enjoys the street art of graffiti. In "Instagram", he often lays photos of bright examples of Street Art.
In 2020, for personal reasons, the team left Igor Bulygin. Basist's place occupied Andrei Arkhipov.
Music
The compositions of the team stylistically fit into the framework of several rock genres: an alternative, art rock, indie, as well as post-grunge. The artists themselves identify their direction as "heavy guitar eclectics".The author of the text is Krasovitsky. The process takes a lot of time and strength, but it can not fulfill other rhymes:
"When I look into the mirror, I see a face not a teenager, but the eyes are not a feature that does not understand the human life. This is my partly schizophrenic problem. But it allows you to write texts that are close to the guys for 15 years, because in the texts I ask questions. Therefore, in concerts, the public changes from year to year: the matured teenagers depart back, giving way to schoolchildren of senior classes and students. "The team of creative activity in 2018, the team noted the album "Happiness", which includes the tracks "not your death", "Peter". For the preceding years, 9 license plates were released. One of the most successful works was the sixth studio "Pitch in Halar". The song of the same name from this disk came out of the Soundtrack to the film "Graffiti" Igor Apasyan.

Since 2011, two Alexander (keyboard player and vocalist) are driven by Zero People Side project. The duet works in the genre of authentic minimalist rock, without intersecting with the format of the main creative employment of both musicians. Games with words and a minimum of expressive means (vocals, bits, keys) emphasize the narrow specificity and a small number of listeners of this experiment.
