Dmitry Noskov & The Saint Petersburg Jazz Orchestra
Dmitry Noskov
Dmitry Noskov invites you on a captivating journey to the America of the 1950s and 60s—a golden era when jazz reigned supreme, and audiences gathered in legendary clubs to sip whiskey on the rocks and catch a glimpse of the «Chairman of the Board» himself, Frank Sinatra.
In this program, titled «I’ll Sing to You Like Frank,» Dmitry performs Sinatra’s most iconic hits—from “Fly Me to the Moon” and “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” to “My Way”—alongside rare gems and Noskov’s own original jazz compositions. To ensure total immersion, the concert features authentic period orchestrations acquired directly in New York, offering the rare opportunity to experience the atmosphere of a 20th-century legend’s live show.
Expect timeless music, wit, fascinating anecdotes from Sinatra’s life, and the hallmark of every Dmitry Noskov performance: the warm, effortless feeling of attending a party hosted by a best friend.
Dmitry Noskov is one of Russia’s most accomplished jazz vocalists and a celebrated film composer. He has scored dozens of the country’s highest-grossing films, including Holog 2, T-34, Salyut-7, and Attraction. A nominee for the Golden Eagle Award for Best Film Score and a «Musician of the Year» finalist for Radio Jazz, Dmitry’s vocal style is so strikingly close to the original—in both tone and delivery—that he has won over the most discerning Sinatra aficionados.
“…Possessing an expressive, truly ‘Sinatra-esque’ style, he beautifully conveys the melodic grace, rhythm, and swing of these global hits.” — Igor Voshchinin, samkult.ru
“…Dmitry Noskov is the first after… Frank Sinatra.” — Olga Karpova, jazzmap.ru
The Saint Petersburg Jazz Orchestra led by Sergey Bogdanov
The Saint Petersburg Jazz Orchestra, led by the distinguished educator, conductor, and arranger Sergey Bogdanov, is one of Russia’s premier big bands and a resident ensemble at the Igor Butman Jazz Club in Saint Petersburg. Established in the spring of 2025, this professional orchestra unites gifted, ambitious, and established young musicians, each a prominent figure in the city’s vibrant jazz scene.
The orchestra’s repertoire is a masterful blend of big band classics and contemporary original scores. Their library includes not only recognized masterpieces of orchestral jazz but also exclusive compositions written specifically for the ensemble.
Sergey Bogdanov is widely regarded as one of Russia’s finest jazz arrangers. His orchestrations are performed far beyond his native Saint Petersburg, reaching as far as the global jazz capital of New York. A protégé of the legendary educator Gennady Golstein, Sergey emerged as a force in the jazz world immediately upon graduating from the Mussorgsky College of Music in 2007.
His career is marked by exceptional versatility and leadership:
- Orchestral Leadership: He founded the Jazz Philharmonic Orchestra at the State Jazz Philharmonic Hall and previously led the orchestral class at the Mussorgsky College, where he served as Head of the Jazz Department.
- Collaborations: He has worked with a stellar array of Russian, European, and New York-based jazz icons, including Igor Butman, David Goloshchekin, Steve Grossman, Valery Ponomarev, Jason Brown, Ilya Lushtak, Mats Holmquist, and Jean-Loup Longnon.
- Cross-Genre Projects: His musical interests extend into rock and theater. He performed with Boris Grebenshchikov’s legendary band Akvarium (2011–2013), collaborated with theater director Viktor Kramer, and composed the score for the play The Wanderers at the Lensoviet Theatre. He also served as the arranger and musical director for the popular retro-orchestra Proletarian Tango.
Currently, Sergey Bogdanov serves as the Artistic Director of the Igor Butman Jazz Clubs in both Moscow and Saint Petersburg.
The Saint Petersburg Jazz Orchestra is more than a musical group; it is an artistic platform that holds a significant place in the city’s cultural architecture. With its stellar lineup, uncompromising performance standards, and the powerful, rich sound of a full big band, the orchestra stands as a project of profound artistic vision that demands the attention of every jazz enthusiast.
