voice / vocalsAlbum Description
Slavov’s debut album explores pivotal points in the life of the master bassist and composer. According to the artist, “Little Stories is mostly a collection of music I’ve written through the years since I came to the U.S to study at Berklee. So, I’d say it’s been 20 years in the making!” Slavov notes that every tune on the album comes with a little story from his past, the Bulgarian-born bassist often tells these stories (chronicled in the album’s liner notes) to audiences at his performances, as a means of engaging the audience with insight into his own personal ties to each piece. These ‘little stories’ weave together to tell a larger tale with themes of reminiscence and wonder.
