The idea to create the first Ukrainian acappella jazz collective was born in 1991; this idea belonged to two graduates of Kiev State University for the Arts. Over the several months, the two found other professional singers who shared the same passion for music. In 1993, the group's talents grew with the addition of composer and music arrangement specialist Alexander Lysokon. As a professional musician and educator, Lysokon took the group to new heights, adding Ukrainian folk arrangements, famous songs from both the Soviet Union and the West, and original compositions to the group's repertoire. Due to his creative talent, "Jazz Expromt's" success became a reality. By 1993 the vocal group had produced two albums of contemporary Christian music in Ukrainian for the Jesus Film Project. These albums were recorded in Kiev, at the House of Sound Recording Studio, by Fred Newman, an American sound producer. In 1994, "Jazz-Expromt" was chosen as the best vocal group at Ukraine's "New Stars of the Year" festival. They won the national radio hit parade "12-2" that same year. Since then, the group has performed as an honorable guest at international music festivals around Eastern Europe including "Slavic Bazaar" (Vitebsk, Belarus), "Jazz Improvisation" (Vilnius, Lithuania), "Jazz Horizons" (Krivoy Rog, Ukraine), "Jazz at Sochi" (Russia) and "Barkhat Season" (Mediterranean cities). * 1993-94 - "Jazz-Expromt" was recognized as the best vocalcollective of Ukraine; * 1994 - a winner of the national radio hit parade.
