Leonid Vintskevich piano, Nick Vintskevich saxophone, Boris Andrianov cello, with Joel Taylor drums

The quartet replaces the usual piano-trio formula with saxophone, piano, cello and drums, giving Bach’s lines four sharply different colours.

Father and son Leonid and Nick Vintskevich are joined by cellist Boris Andrianov and American drummer Joel Taylor, making the record a genuinely collaborative Russian-American project.
