Zhenya Strigalev

Since graduating from London’s prestigious Royal Academy of Music, Zhenya Strigalev (saxophone) has developed an international reputation for his intense, memorable and unique sound. Described as “a maverick at the heart of modern jazz,” Strigalev has cut a dynamic path between the London and New York jazz scenes, appearing at festivals across Europe and South America and collaborating with today's most forward-thinking musicians.

With the creation of his new quartet featuring the much decorated Ivo Neame (piano), Scottish virtuoso Ewan Hastie (double bass), and the outstanding Miami-based Harvel Nakundi (drums), 2025 marks an exciting new turn in Strigalev's lively career.
