Brian Melvin Modern Times is a jazz quartet that began playing and performing a few years ago. Brian Melvin is a jazz drummer and a percussionist known around the world. The rest of the group includes Raul Sööt on saxophones, Virgo Sillamaa on guitars and Peedu Kass on double bass - all estonian jazzmusicians firmly established on the local scene. The group plays mostly originals by many contemporary jazz musicians that Brian has played and recorded with in the past - John Scofield, Dave Kikoski and Seamus Blake, just to mention a few. There's also standard compositions by classics such as Thelonious Monk and a few tunes written by Melvin himself.

The group went into a studio in the spring of 2014 and recorded the material for it's first album. The release is planned for september. The music will be distributed through digital channels and will reach the audience through jazz radio stations in the US. Brian Melvin Modern Times will be touring in the US in november - the main focus is New York and San Fransisco, but venues in Toronto or LA might be added later.

The music has been recorded and waits to be mixed, mastered and published. In addition there will be extended promotion for release concerts in Estonia and the coming tour in US.
For all that to become possible we kindly ask your support!
