About Me

I was born in Estonia just in time to see the fall of Soviet Union. Since then many things have changed. However, Estonians have allways respected good music (jazz). I didn't have any muscial influences at home... lets just say my parents weren't interested. If they listened to music they listened to Estonian folk tunes or American country music. I didn't like that already from the beginning. So it might seem mysterious how a person like me got in to music and especially jazz. I have to say that it doesn't only seem but it is a mystery... Anyway it happened. For some strange reason I started playing the guitar. Soon after the beginning of my studies I moved to England for 6 months. But just before departure that vicious guitar teacher got me in to jazz. So I spent 6 months buying tons of CDs, educating myself and listening to music. And then I came back...
