Igor Khoroshev

Igor Petrovich Khoroshev (; born 14 July 1965) is a Russian keyboardist, composer, and producer best known for being a member of English progressive rock band Yes from 1997 to 2000.

Biography Khoroshev was born on 14 July 1965 in Moscow, Russia. He started piano lessons at age five but took an interest in rock music as he grew older, and had his parents buy him albums by Yes, Genesis and King Crimson on the black market. Khoroshev recalled listening to Yes's Relayer (1974) and considered keyboardist Patrick Moraz as a musical hero. Khoroshev was also interested in classical music, and graduated from university with a major in composition and orchestration.

In 1999, Khoroshev released his only solo album to date, Piano Works. In March 2000, he and Anderson worked on an album called True You, True Me and aimed to release it in November of that year, with a tour as a duet in early 2001, but neither came into fruition.

After touring The Ladder, the band completed their Masterworks Tour in 2000. During the tour, Khoroshev was accused of assaulting two female security officers at a show near Washington, D.C. He was charged with two misdemeanours, assault and battery and sexual battery, and was freed with a $1,000 unsecured bond. The matter was settled out of court and Khoroshev was never convicted.

Since leaving Yes, Khoroshev has worked on film soundtracks, including Good Night Valentino and The Pearl, and in a production role, often working with Mike Plotnikoff (e.g. With Shivering Hearts We Wait, 2011).
