Vladimir Tarasov, renowned drummer and one of the members of the legendary jazz group "Ganelin-Tarasov-Chekasin Trio," introduces his memoirs: "This book is a unique 'drumming': a traditional drum solo, moving from one pattern to another, returning to the beginning, and then moving on again. A jazz musical weave, where the pattern flows naturally and isn't tied to chronology or specific dates. Simply points of contact—with time, with place, with people, friendships, and acquaintances with whom fate has gifted me. This book is more like the notes or diary of a drummer who, thanks to his fate and profession, has the opportunity to travel to different countries."
