"While the night is leaving. It's quite a pleasure - the release of this album, which will never turn to a bestseller, but there is no doubt it will find its admirer - sensitive and grateful one. The one who in soul piano plays would distinguish not only familiar jazz standards but would be able to have a look in his inner world.
Mr. Mamoushev doesn't hold on to the creation о a new style in the field of piano jazz. But at the same time he skillfully avoids so called "retro" style. The ability of listening, hearing and retelling is part and parcel of Igor's creativity. I am quite sure that not only the fans of Mr, Mamoushev will enjoy this album. Twelve plays equal twelve "moods" or twelve poetic lines make three verses. As a reflect of the life of a real romantic, dedicating himself to lyrics, musician and poet.
"Jazz is a special environment leading to external solitude" (from one of Mamoushev's verses). I am all for joining and sharing this solitude."
