Mussorgsky Portrait - Modest Trio - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Recorded at the same time as Pictures at an Exhibition, veteran pianist Vladimir Miller is joined by close friend pianist and producer Steve Plews. Here the two present a mercurial portrait of Mussorgsky and an animated soundscape exploring the life and writings of Dostoevsky. There are echoes of Cecil Taylor, influences of Don Pullen, Jaki Byard, Bill Evans – both pianists lovers of contemporary Jazz piano – referring to their heroes but always retaining their own style.
