Album US 1999 on MA RECORDINGS label
Jazz, Folk, World and (Contemporary Jazz)
Milcho Leviev is a Bulgarian jazz pianist, and he normally sticks to jazz, but on this album of solo piano works, he digs a bit more into his Eastern European roots for an odd but pleasant mix of styles. Leviev is a forceful and energetic player, even when playing a ballad, and stepping outside the bounds of straight jazz gives him the opportunity to showcase that ability quite well. This album makes me wish that Laszlo Gardony (a Hungarian jazz pianist) would draw more heavily on his roots.
