Stumble upon this music video by accident; nevertheless, for the past 24 hours I have been listening to nothing but Ilya's music. What a wonderful and serendipitous discovery!

[@Ilyaserov]

Aww, so nice of you! Glad to hear that! Thank you for your support! 🙏😊🎶

[@peterfarrar9015]

Ilya Sorov's heart rendering performance with the trumpet of the haunting & dramatic romantic ballad "My Funny Valentine", a profound true love & romance musical narrative, was outstanding. Miss Valentine may not be perfect , but love & romance deletes her imperfections. The class jazz musicians gave Mr Sorov great support. Ilya Sorov, please view my amended & updated comments, I think you will like the additional comments. Golden words by Peter E. Farrar.

[@Ilyaserov]

Thank you very much again Peter! 😊
