Product Description

Alexander Tfsasman (1906 - 1971) was a Soviet jazz pianist, composer, conductor, publisher, and activist.
He was one of the greatest pioneers of jazz in the young Soviet Union, from the period of the mid-1920s until the late 1960s, when he raised to exceptional fame. He was the incarnation of a sort of Russian Gershwin, a wonderful improviser on themes by others, an exceptional piano virtuoso, successful, at least until the end of the Great Patriotic War, when jazz became taboo again in Russia.
A wonderful example of Tsfasman's melodious and virtuosic composition is the "Jazz Suite" (ca. 1945) for piano and orchestra, transcribed for 4-hands piano by Giuseppe Di Bianco.
The seductive "Lyric waltz" must surely have influenced Shostakovich when he wrote his Jazz Suites, while the scintillating opening ("Snowflakes") and the madcap virtuosity of the "Fast movement" (with his cheeky hat-tip to Chopin's octaves Etude) are definitely precursors of Kapustin's style.
