Igor Granov compositions sheet music and chords

Igor Yakovlevich Granov (February 9, 1938, Moscow - June 19, 2021, Moscow) - Soviet musician, composer, music producer. Honored Artist of the RSFSR (1979). In 1968-1969, conductor Igor Granov was part of the Soviet Music Hall on a long tour of the American continent, during which he met Louis Armstrong in Mexico City. The experience gained on these tours and the advice of L. Armstrong led Granov to the idea of ​​​​creating a new genre on the Soviet stage. This is how VIA "Blue Guitars" appeared, the name of which was given by German electric guitars of blue with mother-of-pearl color. In the 1970s, the tours of the Blue Guitars, like many other VIAs, were sold out at all venues in the USSR.
