Soundtrack to my life From Dneper to Danube
Myroslav Levytsky(p) and Rens Newland(g), both great personalities on their instruments, came together the first time in 2001. In the following years a cooperation developed itself between Braty Bluzu (the band of Myroslav and his brother Oleg) and Rens Newland. Myroslav has classical and eastern roots, Rens has Blues, Rock and Jazz, so western roots. This is the very interesting and sensitive meeting of these two worlds!

Zipflo Weinrich in L.A.

Audiosamples (click to start & stop):
Zipflo Weinrich is one of the best violinists of Europe. As his playing and very personal interpreting was also noticed and praised in the U.S.A. he now took the chance and recorded this new album with some of his fabulous American friends: Philip Ingram, Peter Erskine, Bob Mintzer, Alex Acuna... These musicians build the perfect fundament for his deep emotional playing. Great compositions and Zipflo opens up his swingy Jazz music widely into World Music as well into a Funk and Soul direction. An important next step for this great artist!
