Billy's Band

A Russian music group from Saint Petersburg playing in the blues, swing, jazz, and rock styles. Founded in 2001 by Billy Novik and Andrei Reznikov. Billy’s Band's discography includes 5 studio albums, 3 live albums, 3 singles, and several compilations; additionally, the band has experience participating in major jazz music festivals in the USA and Canada. The musicians themselves characterize their style as "romantic alcohol-jazz," and previously called themselves a "funeral dixieland with an endless happy end." They are one of the few popular collectives in Russia that adheres to the DIY (Do It Yourself) model — the team records and designs their albums themselves, handles distribution and advertising, and organizes concerts and tours[1][6], while not having signed a single contract with a major record label or producer.
