	CD Review of Milcho Leviev - Quiet Love (a jazz opera in 11 acts) on EA Ethnic Art @ jazzreview.com
		Leviev has often said that the one thing he never liked about opera was the singing, he feels that the intense, constant deviation (almost half a step) of the desired note, called "legit vibrato" tends to obscure the melody's beauty...Ergo, this jazz opera with a jazz singer.
		Leviev's soliloquy is unmatched in style and substance.
		The pen of Milcho Leviev is mightier than the sabre rattling music prevalent in today's market and Vicky Almazidu is a rara avis in a world devoid of true vocalists, her phrasing and interpretation of Leviev's music are beyond reproach.

		The jazz saxophonists, trombonists and trumpeters would have loved to chase Theodossii Spassov with his "shepherd's flute" from the stage.
		But after a very short time it was obvious: Leviev rejected the neoboppers in absolute favor of Spassov for his duo.

		Originating from a Japanese concert, this CD from M-A teams together pianist Milcho Leviev in duets with superb bassist Dave Holland.
		The music ranges from variations of standards to more introspective interplay and stimulating originals by the duo.
		High points include versions of Leviev's "Up and Down" and Holland's challenging and rather exciting "Jumpin' In." Although the bassist has a fair share of solo space, Leviev's command of the keyboard constantly grabs one's attention; he has long been one of Los Angeles' unheralded treasures.
