Texts and chords. " In the year he became an honored artist of Russia.

Childhood, youth, family Misha was born in Moscow in the spring of the year in the family of a doctor and front -line soldier Zakhar Shufutinsky and Elena Podolskaya. From mom, a native of the Ukrainian city of Nezhin, the boy had several photos in which she, young and happy, holds him in her arms. Mikhail Shufutinsky in childhood with her parents died due to an accident when her son was not even five years old.

The musician himself does not like to spread on this topic, but there is information on the network that Elena and her friend crossed the railway, and the heel of the second woman was stuck on the rails; It did not work out to release it before the arrival of the train, and both died under the wheels. The widower went to medicine with his head, declaring the baby to his parents, Berte Davydovna and David Yakovlevich.

But he also brought his contribution to the upbringing of his son as far as he could - once he brought him a trophy accordion so that Misha began to learn music. Zakhar himself did not have professional musical education, but he mastered the pipe and guitar. Mikhail Shufutinsky with his grandparents by his father according to the memoirs of Shufutinsky, his father had a wonderful voice, and the boy managed to hear how he sings in rare moments of communication.

Misha fascinated the sound of a tool brought by dad, his pearl keys. Grandfather and grandmother were immediately invited to the child of a teacher who determined the boy’s undoubted musical hearing and recommended a music school. Mikhail Shufutinsky in the school years of Misha’s disappointment was bitter: instead of a beautiful elegant instrument, which was considered a bourgeois relic, they began to learn to play the button accordion.

Despite the modest prosperity, his father allocated rubles with a little to purchase a Tula production tool. Misha simply hated this crankshaft, which he dragged on himself from home on Shabolovka to Yakimanka to a music school - two kilometers back and forth. He was a reward Sunday concerts in the yard when he could perform everything he wished for neighbors on his favorite accordion.

Sergei Rafailovich Salnikov taught him to play, whom Shufutinsky still calls his main music teacher. As a child, Mikhail Shufutinsky learned to play button accordion, unlike music, school subjects Misha were little interested in. He graduated from eight classes of the evening school, and in the eighth grade he even remained a second year. The young man was more interested in the opportunity with friends to walk along Leninsky Prospekt with harmony, listen to jazz and “give songs”.

But studying at school was coming to an end, and Mikhail began to think about the future. Once from the trolleybus window he saw the announcement in large letters about the recruitment of students at the Music School named after the famous Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov and immediately decided that he would study there. To begin with, Misha entered preparatory courses, where he studied for eight months, after which he became a freshman.

Student years of academic education did not prevent the young guys from seriously picked up by jazz music practically banned in those days. Shufutinsky had the opportunity to listen to the Voice of America in the evenings on the radio, where Willis Konover broadcast in the Soviet country about the famous jazzmen of the West. Misha had a tape recorder, which managed to record programs and music that sounded in them.

Music students undergroundly took photos of selected notes and translated articles, created books. According to the musician’s memoirs, he and his friends successfully skipped philosophy and political economy to go to the daytime movie show. The company was made up by Alla Pugacheva, with whom Shufutinsky studied four courses and was on friendly terms.

When they went home to Misha together, his grandmother all the time scolded the future prima donna for too short skirts. At the end of the school, a young man who received three specialties at once - a chormaster, conductor and music teacher - was distributed to Minusinsk, the district center near Krasnoyarsk. However, Mikhail refused - he realized that the maximum that he could count on there was the position of assistant conductor: "Stock up tools and rewrite notes."
