about
In the end of July 1991, I was going to write my first instrumental album, I invited Volodya as a second soloist. To be honest I was not sure that he will take up the job, that money doesn't promised. At first he refused, and I have lost the hope and decided to record like a trio. Suddenly, in the studio appears KOLPAK with the saxophone. Do I have to describe how happy I was when literally with my backbone felt his presence. The first rehearsal was on the big stage in DK Railway workers (in the basement, by the way, and then there was the studio Apello). The sound of his alto-sax got an old cello timbre and sounded like a viola, and the music flowed absolutely firm (as we then called). Exceptional saxophonist - a consummate soloist of the best big bands of the country. Just pronouncing his name, I got the respect at the highest level among the woodwind oficionados. But I tried not to confound the universal glory of Riga musicians, wherever they may serve. Riga those times was the Mecca of jazz in the USSR.
