The Shamanic Jazz at Koktebel Festival
(Derzhava
magazine)
"Tuvan shaman Nikolay Oorzhak became a real
highlight of the program. He appeared on scene all the four days and each
time was improvising with another band. The throat sounds which he able to
utter is something average between the thunderclap and the fugue of
cathedral organ. One day he performed together with British saxophonist and
American bass-guitarist, and this international shamanic meditation
stuck to my memory above all."
