The jazz party with Vladimir Fejertag is dedicated to the Hollywood composer, whose songs have been heard from movie screens for several decades.

Jimmy van Husen (1913–1990) is an American composer, author of wonderful songs that have established themselves as jazz standards. Musicians all over the world still remember and love his tunes. In his youth, he worked as a pianist and vocalist in bars and restaurants in New York, and in the 40s he managed to break into Hollywood, and his songs sounded in dozens of films that almost no one remembers today. In total, he wrote 800 songs, was nominated for the Grammy Award 14 times, but won only four times. Three of his musicals were awarded special prizes. And this happened at a time when the music of Gershwin, Kern, Rogers, Porter, Bernstein sounded on the Broadway stage. Van Husen fit in perfectly with this company and was even considered a favorite due to the soft nature, amazing friendliness and enviable professional modesty. The program will be performed by St. Petersburg musicians Maxim Medvedev and Nikolai Sizov.
