Greetings to Moscow Jazz Orchestra

The message reads, in part:
“Your orchestra, which was established by Igor Butman, has brought
together talented and enthusiastic musicians with an inexhaustible source of creative
energy. That is why the professional life of your orchestra is filled to the brim with bright and memorable events. You go on many performance tours and represent our country at prestigious international festivals. You often invite
your friends – prominent actors, opera singers and other cultural workers – to take part in your concerts, which always draw a full house and become a real
feast for both jazz lovers and cognoscenti.
I have no doubt that you will continue to set the tone in the modern
jazz scene, bringing joy to your audiences with your rich repertoire and virtuoso performance.”
