My name is Nikita. I am a composer and jazz pianist from Moscow, author of music on this page. I like a different music: smooth jazz, fusion, funk, new age, ambient... I have a special and high musical educationon a class jazz piano. Was born in 1963 in Moscow. From 15 years started to compose music. In 1985 I created first group the name Medium. "Medium" executed music composed and arranged by me in styles art rock and jazz rock. Music was enough difficult and sated, and also included elements of different folklore traditions including east and Russian. Except for compose and performing activity I taught jazz piano all over again in Jazz College, then on jazz branch of known in Russia Stasov's musical school, played with many known musicians, not only Russian but also American. Among them saxophonist David Mann, singer Nicky Richards, Mindi Abair, Richard Elliot, Russian group Trans Atlantik by Sergey Chipenko. For record of tracks to "One step" (my first big work ) I invited the friends - best Moscow musicians. Among them such as: Vladimir Galaktionov-trumpet the soloist of a jazz band of Igor Butman, Konstantin Gorshkov-saxophones the soloist a jazz of an orchestra of Oleg Lundstrem, Peter Dolsky-fantastic bass the guitarist who now working in popular Russian group the name "Prime Minister". All the musicians are is very famous in Russia. They are talented and real professionals. Through the music I try to realize myself as a part of huge existence as an empty flute through which the Consciousness plays the melody. Thanks for all people who wanted to listen this music with me.
