Blues for Sudzhian — Oleg Maximov original
It's a blues tune dedicated to my guitar teacher at Moscow State College of Jazz - Michael (Mukuch) Sudzhian, recorded live in the bar O.W.Grant on 14th of march 2021. When I was doing my second year at college I took part in a competition called "Many-faced Guitar". After passing into 3rd round I had to play a solo over blues. But the case was to grab a card with randomly written key, time signature and tempo. I've received a card with B major, 6/8, fast tempo. Of course, I screwed it up that time! But years go by, and now B major starting to be more comfortable key to play.

Oleg Maximov Quartet - Following Jazzmashin
Following Jazzmashin - it's a piece of music dedicated to Russian jazz musician and a huge fan of running - Alexander Mashin. One day Sasha proposed to carry out into nothingness a terrible year of 2020 by running a marathon distance on 31st of December. Of course, I've immediatley jumped into that adventure! During the first half of a distance it was raining. Than a temperature fall bellow 0 degrees Celsius, and everything what wasn't covered with snow, was covered with ice. We were running through Moscow, and somewhere after 30th kilometer I was completely out of energy. It was incredibly difficult, and I dreamt to stop hundred times. But Sasha was running a couple of meters ahead, and following jazzmashin I finally finished the distance!
