In the cultural realm, renowned jazz artist Mike Clark is touring Russia during the month of October to bring knowledge and appreciation of American jazz. The U.S. State Department is sponsoring this tour that will begin in Sochi on October 1st and end in St. Petersburg on the 24th. The Mike Clark Organ Trio will be performing hits from his new Owl Studio release "Carnival of Soul". Cultural diplomacy is to be promoted during this tour in Russia as the State Department is engaging in artistic tours abroad, much reminiscent of the days of the Jazz Ambassadors programs during the Cold War.
