Alissid Jazz
With music rooted in Russia, Mongolia, Siberia, India and the Arab world, Alissid Jazz have always intrigued. Founded by Alexandr “Aliss” Al’O’Khin in 1986, they claim to be researches bent on "destroying the diatonic and jazz harmonisation that the European listener is used to". A refreshing and impertinent band, these musicians are seen as part of the new Russian scene that is challenging stereotypes and easy listening. |

WOMEX 2005 in Gateshead, England
 play
Kate and Alex discuss the sound experiments that gave birth to their unusual mixture of jazz and electronic samplings.
Setting: Kate Kandalina and Alexandr Al’O’Khin, the Alissid Jazz founder, were presenting their Russian jazz/electro music at the 2005 WOMEX trade fair. An unusual place for a semi-improvised exchange in keeping with the group’s iconoclastic approach to music. It was first broadcast by World Tracks, the weekly music programme by Radio France International.
