Konstantin Georgievich Nossow
Konstantin Georgievich Nossow ( Russian Константин Георгиевич Носов * 24. July 1938 in Leningrad ; † 29. June 1984 in Sofia ) was a Russian jazz - trumpet , flugelhorn player and composer of modern jazz .
Nossow studied trumpet at the Rimsky-Korsakov Music School and after graduating in 1956 in Leningrad began to play jazz in a group of saxophonist Orest Kandat. From 1959 (until 1966) he played in the orchestra of Josif Weinstein (Vainstein) and with the quintet of Gennadi Golstein (alto saxophone), in which Dawid Semjonowitsch Goloschtschokin (piano), Victor Smirnov (bass), Stanislaw Streltzow (drums) also played and that he co-directed. In 1966 he went with other members of the quintet to the orchestra of Eddie Rosner and in 1967 to the radio orchestra (concert orchestra of Zentral-TV and All-Unions Radio) of Wadim Ljudwikowski (1925-1995). From 1969 to 1973 he was part of the big band of the Vecherny Arbat restaurant in Moscow.
From 1973 to 1980 he played in the ensemble Melodie (Melodiya) and took part in concerts by Oleg Lundstrem's orchestra .
In 1980 he emigrated to Bulgaria, where he played in Sofia and Dinamit Brass Band .
He never recorded as a leader, but can be heard on Labirint by Georgi Garanjan (where he plays a composition Wilder Fluss , Ognennaja reka). He also composed Schneller als Dulcinea by Toboso .
Since his father had a high position in the Soviet Union, he could not travel abroad. After Frederick Starr, he was the third Russian starter trumpeter in the early days of modern jazz in Russia (after Andrei Towmasjan and German Konstantinowitsch Lukjanow ). He stood in the free jazz tradition of Don Cherry and, according to Starr, was highly valued by practically every Soviet jazz musician .
