Letter 5 • 8 December 1982



Leningrad

December 8, 1982

Dear Hans

Thank you for your letter. After I’ve received it Alex received your postcard therin you wrote about problems with trip to Russia. It’s a pity if you and John [Fischer] won’t visit Leningrad this Christmas but I hope to see you soon.

Here are the results of the 2nd annual CMC critics’ poll – Soviet New Jazz ’82: Wladimir Tschekassin is a musician of the year. He is also No. 1 on tenor and alto saxes and clarinet. Wjatscheslaw Ganelin was voted the best pianist and Wladimir Tarassow is a top drummer. These musicians in a trio was voted an ensemble of the year. They follow by Wladimir Resitzky’s [Vladimir Resitsky] ‘Archangelsk’. Ganelin is also named the best composer and his work for trio ‘Poi segue…’ recorded by Soviet ‘Melodya’ label is an album of the year. Wjatscheslaw Gajworonsky [Vyacheslav Gayvoronsky] is No. 1 on trumpet and flugelhorn and No. 2 as a composer. His ‘alter ego’ Wladimir Volkow is the best bassist. The new names in the poll are only Pjatras Vischnjauskas [Petras Vyšniauskas] (No.1 soprano saxophonist), Leonid Winzkewitsch [Leonid Vintskevich] (No.2 pianist and No. 3 composer) and W. Resizky (No. 2 alto saxophonist).

Merry Christmas and

Happy New Year

To you and all your friends

Yours sincerely

Sergej.
