Synopsis

 

Jazz Masterclass is one of the programmes of the “Jazz-Go-Central, Jazz-Go-Fringe” project, presented by the Fringe Club and Patrick Lui Jazz Orchestra.  On Saturday afternoon 22 December, Russian trumpeter Alex Sipiagin will conduct a masterclass for the members of that band. 

This time, trumpet, trombone, and saxophone players are invited to be participants – bring your own instrument and you might have the opportunity to play with the band, or even to replace PLJO member’s seats, with the scores provided in advance.  It’s also open to the public to sit-in as audience.  Come and sharpen your musical skills!

Alex will also be the featured soloist at the “Big Band Night - Patrick Lui Jazz Orchestra” concert at the Fringe Club that night.

Alex Sipiagin

Alex was born in Yaroslavl, Russia, and began studying trumpet at the Moscow Music Institute and the Gnessin Conservatory in Moscow at the age of 12.  In 1990, he won top honours in the International Louis Armstrong Competition.  Soon afterwards, he relocated to New York City.

Alex became a favoured player for various bands, including the Gil Evans Orchestra, the George Gruntz Concert Jazz Band, drummer Bob Moses’ band Mozamba, Mingus Dynasty and the Dave Holland Big Band.  Many of the recordings he was involved in won, or were nominated for, a Grammy.

As a trumpet soloist, Alex has 11 recordings to his credit, and he has toured extensively throughout Europe, the USA, Japan and Russia with his own group.  He has recorded 15 solo albums, and teaches at the Prince Claus Conservatoire in Gronigen, The Netherlands; the Music Academy of Basel in Switzerland, and New York University.
