JAZZYSTAN on SOHO RADIO. Live From Washington DC (11.18.2023)

Tribute to New York City. 

Saying goodbye to New York was very hard for me. This is undoubtedly a painful process. I went through this when I left my homeland 6 years ago. At first it drains you. Then you take all your hands and gradually fill life with new meaning, because time heals.

On Thanksgiving, I wanted to record something special to express my gratitude to New York, the city that taught me so much and to send a message to all the amazing, kind, responsive and incredibly talented people I met there, to those who became my friends, to everyone who shared a piece of themselves with me. In this music - you, me, all of us. 

I recorded this set on Thanksgiving NIght at Cranes (Restaurant) in Washington DC | November 23rd 2023.
