Participant: Ilya Netkach (violin, Ukraine)

“I am a jazz violinist. I finished Kharkov musical college as a classical violinist. Soon, I became interested in improvisation and came into jazz. So far there are no jazz violin teachers in Ukraine I study it by myself. I constantly take part in jam-sessions.
Among other styles I prefer standard swing, ballad and fusion. I compose my own music in the last of mentioned styles. I have a solo project.”
