Farewell for jazz musician Alexey Kozlov set for Moscow on September 29

Kozlov began his musical career as a pianist in the 1950s. In 1957, he taught himself to play the saxophone and made his debut on the instrument.

In the early 1960s, Kozlov helped establish Molodyozhnoye, described by the source as the Soviet Union’s first jazz club-café. In the 1970s, he founded Arsenal, identified in the report as the first Soviet jazz-rock ensemble.

RBC gave the date and venue for the ceremony but did not specify its start time. The report also did not provide details about the programme.
