In ’82 we played in this room at Spaso House, in the American Embassy of Moscow. That was during Soviet times and it was just like the movies > > with KGB everywhere. This time we visited with the current Ambassador Beyrle and his wife Jocelyn – – and the memories flooded back. Moscow is a brand new city struggling to westernize itself – – for better or for worse. Good luck Moscow!
The audiences were fantastic though. And Igor Butman and his big band was killin’!
