Songs from the Black Earth SLAMCD 277
Songs from the Black Earth Nick Vintskevitch: Soprano saxophone and alto saxophone Leonid Vintskevitch: Piano Steve Kershaw: Double Bass Petter Svärd: Drums  

These tracks convey a sense of the wide open spaces of Russia (the home of the "black earth" of the title) ... Leonid Vintskevitch's piano tone is beautifully lucid. His delicate touch makes every note count ... Leonid's piano is amazing: playing the piano strings as well as its keys, and creating his own dazzling counterpoint between left and right hands (Music Web International)

A beautiful Russian open-ended avant-garde where Errol Garner does not conflict with Cecil Taylor (Down Beat) 		£10.00
