Igor Butman Jazz Club is a legendary jazz venue and a landmark of Russian jazz history. For more than 20 years Igor Butman Club has been a place where the new history of Russian jazz is born and jazz life is in the full swing.

Starting its long, bright and eventful history with concert series by such jazz greats as Ray Brown, Jimmy Smith, Elvin Jones, McCoy Tyner, Joe Zawinul, Roy Hargrove, Ron Carter, Billy Cobham, the club has continued it with presenting shows by Medeski, Martin & Wood, Robert Glasper, Chris Potter, Christian McBride, Avishai Cohen, Dave Grusin and Lee Ritenour (to name a few) in the recent few years.
