The performers
Kiri Yak ()
Kirill Yakovlev aka Kiri Yak is a Russian-born guitar player, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and music teacher based in Prague, Czech Republic, specialising in jazz-fusion, world and ambient music.
Daniel Bulatkin ()
Czech pianist, organist and composer Daniel Bulatkin, currently based in Holland, is one of the leading figures of young Czech jazz.
From the beginning of his career, Daniel was lucky enough to collaborate with his Czech role models, and soon to perform with foreign names on prestigious stages all over Europe. All this soon led to performances alongside international stars such as Ulf Wakenius, Justin Faulkner, Tineke Postma, Gergo Borlai, Gary Husband and others. Today Daniel can be heard in formations ranging from straight-ahead and modern jazz to prog-rock, neo-soul and world music. All this without losing his unique sound and signature. Publicists and colleagues describe him as "the hope of Czech jazz" (Czech Television) or "a rising star" (skjazz.sk). To date, he has released two albums as a "co-leader" - Drifter Days and The New Beginning. Both CDs were mentioned in the CRo Jazz critics' list as among the best of their year. He also produced the ambitious debut of American singer Allison Wheeler Winterspring.
