Jazz in Hollywood

Jazz in Hollywood takes you back to the glamour of 1930s‑1960s cinema, when Hollywood’s musical films poured intoxicating melodies into the hearts of a world in crisis. Under the masterful baton of clarinetist and saxophonist Valery Kiselev, the Classic Jazz Ensemble delivers a vibrant, swing‑infused celebration of timeless Hollywood hits from the Golden Era. They re‑imagine the tunes that once carried fans away from the hardships of the Great Depression—from Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman to Marilyn Monroe and Doris Day—turning each song into a fresh, modern jazz statement while honoring its original charm. Valery Kiselev, a brilliant Russian jazz virtuoso whose vast catalog of arrangements has long been considered for a Guinness World Record, brings both impeccable skill and contemporary insight to each piece, ensuring every performance feels both classic and new. The concert film showcases a curated selection of classic films scores, transformed into enduring jazz standards that still resonate with audiences today.
