Leonid Vintskevich, Steve Kershaw & Nick Vintskevich - Under a Different Sky

Trio recording by Leonid Vintskevich on piano, his son Nick on saxophone and bassist Steve Kershaw, who have all record extensively for SLAM Productions. The tunes on 'Under a Different Sky' all reflect the lives, interests, influences and communal experiences of the trio. Forgotten Melody is Leonid's meditation on half-remembered musical fragments; The Waltz of the Young Turks - inspired by a distinctive clapping rhythm banged out by drinkers in a bar in Bergama in Turkey; One Moment - a lyrical reflection on the Chernozem ('Black Earth') and big skies of Nick's homeland; Face Kontrol - sharing the feelings you have outside Moscow nightclubs, where the 'Face Kontrol' official won't let you in unless you are beautiful; Russian Ornament - party time on the Russian steppe with the workers, Stravinsky and home-made vodka.
