Music bands led by world-famous saxophonist Igor Butman will tour the cities of the USA in January and February. The Moscow Jazz Orchestra and Igor Butman Quintet will perform in New York, Baltimore, Miami, Chicago and Boston. The start of the tour will take place on January 30 in one of the clubs in New York, TASS reports.

The jazz orchestra will give four concerts in New York before going further along the touring route. The band regularly tours in the USA and is well known to American jazz fans.

The orchestra, which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year, toured the United States last January. The Igor Butman Quintet , which includes winners of the world's major jazz competitions, toured the US last summer.

Russkiy Mir reported that a member of the band Yevgeny Pobozhiy won the international guitar competition in the USA in early December, 2019.

The press service of the bands announced that the orchestra and quintet would bring the best of their programs to the US. In addition to jazz classics, the original compositions by Igor Butman, as well as other works, will be brought to the States.
