About " ROOMS" band
History of the group started with its founding members' study of jazz improvisation with famous Moscow pianist and educator Daniel Kramer at the Moscow Conservatory. Ekaterina Chernousova (vocal, piano, arrangements) and Sergei Nankin (clarinet) founded a duet and played jazz standards and their own compositions. They played concerts in Moscow (Moscow Conservatory, The Tchaikovsky Hall, jazz clubs) and in other Russian and Ukrainian cities (Dubna, Omsk, Zaporozhie, Tula, Tver and others.)
In 1999 they composed and performed the fantasy on Sergei Prokofiev music Romeo and Juliet.
Soon the duo decided to enhance itself by including bass and drums, and to transform into a full-size jazz group.
IIn December, 2002, the Rooms presented their first CD at the Jewish Culture Center Concert Hall, and both the concert and CD featured all main directions in the Rooms music: arrangements of jazz standards and classic music, original pieces, mix of different styles in contemporary music with folk songs. Soon there came an idea to make a program which will combine Jewish tunes with modern jazz rhythms. It resulted in the release of the second CD, Im Telech. Its music was highly estimated by such renowned representatives of klezmer music as M. Lerner, M. Sheppert at 4th Klezfest in Kiev (2004).
The group would like to express their gratitude for help and support to Valeria Kovalzon, director of Moscow Jewish Youth Club. The Rooms have been also participated at Jewish celebrations and at anniversaries of Jewish organasations (for example, Russian-Jewish Congress).

"Why Rooms? It means the idea of creating a space which is filled with a new sense every time. All depends on who is now living in the room - Bach, Ellington, dancing Jewish boy or Russian girl or flying bumble-bee. We hope that there will be many different guests in our rooms with new interesting ideas" - Ekaterina Chernousova.
