A combination of Nick'S Original Compositions and swinging standards played by some of the best jazz cats in New York City
As a young boy growing up in Saratov in the former Soviet Union, Nick Levinovsky
was expected to become a classical pianist or orchestral conductor. His parents,
both opera singers, started their son on the piano at age 6. Gifted though he was,
Levinovsky nevertheless drifted through his musical training until one day when his
father tuned their short-wave radio to the Voice of America and jazz entered
Levinovsky's life for the first time. "I was knocked out," Levinovsky recalls about
that day when he was just 13. He had never heard music so alive, music that spoke
directly to him. "Jazz turned my life upside down," and from then on Levinovsky
knew what he wanted to do, what he had to do -- be a jazzman.
