Luzhkov, however, has been dogged by a relentless Kremlin smear campaign. Last summer, for instance, rumors circulated that the government was planning to release damning kompromat (compromising materials) about him.

For the show, the group will be playing with two guest saxophonists, Jon Natchez...
