My Jazz Story

I love jazz because it's one of my ways of expressing myself. I was first exposed to jazz when I was five years old. It was an Arturo Sandoval record. The best show I ever attended was performance by vocal group Take 6. The first jazz record I bought was Arturo Sandoval "Turi" My advice to new listeners learn to hear the soul of the artist in his music.

My House Concert Story

I was lucky enough to organize many jazz concerts in Moscow, between 1999 and 2010. Among others: Oleg Lundstrem's orchestra, Georgy Garanyan; Arkady Shilkloper.
