Expanding new-age jazz experimental with World Music's scope, Yuri gives a dynamic live performance finding the best musicians to play his original arrangements and collective interpretations of subgenres– World Fusion, Ethnic Fusion, and World Beat.
Through the integrations of Latin, Jazz, and World Music-based rhythms, seductive melodies and interweaving instrumentals became the standard of excellence for the Yuri Turchyn+GRUPO YURI quintet on the jazz club and festival circuit.
