Single JANUARY just released!

My first single " January" was just released in iTunes, Amazon, Napster, Rhapsody, E-music, Amie Street and others.

When I have been composing this tune I was inspired by winter and I felt a melancholy and homesickness. I was trying to show my emotions through my playing and improvising too.

Here is the liner notes:

The landscape is white and empty.

Days,still short, can be sunny,skies an absolute blue.

Also the wind may be absent at times.

Promises of a different and greener time to come...

Be aware though that under the horizon the next furious snowy tempest is just creeping closer...

( Written by Wim Essed)

Feel free to listen, leave comments and reviews or buy music.

"January" is Available on

Who is your favorite jazz piano player?

I am interested about what kind of music people like in our days?

Is everybody likes pop, rock, hip-hop and R&B? 

Are there people who like jazz? Probably there are some folks who into traditional jazz and cats.

But are people really familiar with modern jazz? 

I am really curious about that. OK, people heard playing of Brad Mehldau and Keith Jarrett (I believe).

What about others? 

I am as one of thousand jazz piano players and composers would like to hear from you about that.

At least I'll try to show how beautiful, emotional, sensitive, colorful and exiting could be jazz piano music. So, if you are interested to get know about jazz piano music please welcome to my blog! I'll show you the best!

Here is the first video with one of my favorite piano player Tord Gustavsen( Norway).

He has made and amazing and outstanding composition "Being There". Enjoy the melancholic melody and such a great performing!

My First JAZZ Post!

Here is my first blog, first post.

Exiting! 

What should I write? 

Better first introduce myself.

I am Russian jazz pianist/composer currently living and working in The Netherlands in a beautiful  modern city Rotterdam.

I compose jazz and contemporary music and really would love to share it with the world. 

Was quite busy with finding out some staff here, layout, template, gadgets, widgets, links..... Actually a lot of staff to do ))))))(if you don't know how).

But I manage a bit, and hope I can find some friends and fans here and people who would understand and support my music, my playing, my improvising.

Ciao and see you later,

Masha
