Kruzenshtern & Parohod
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kruzenshtern & Parohod (Russian: Крузенштерн и Пароход) is a Russophone Israel klezmer-rock band from Tel Aviv, created in 2002. Its style is variously branded as "experimental jazz", "klezmercore" (a pun on "hardcore"), "ethno jazz", "avant-garde".
The core team is :
- Igor Krutogolov: bass balalaika, voice, toy accordion, noise
- Ruslan Gross: clarinet, bass clarinet, voice
- Guy Schechter: drums, voice
- Olga Yelensky, accordion
They often play with various guests.
[edit] Name
The name of the band is a pun immediately recognizable by all post-Soviet Russophones. In Russia (as well as in other Russophone places), a fictional steamship "Admiral Ivan Fyodorovich Kruzenshtern" from the popular Prostokvashino animated film series is very well known, often as part of a catch phrase "Admiral I.F.Kruzenshtern, a man and a steamship", "pirated" from the title of a requiem poem by Vladimir Mayakovsky, To Comrade Nette, a Man and a Steamship. The steamship is named after the Russian explorer, admiral Adam Johann von Krusenstern.
