New age pianist/composer Kostia has issued several solo albums thus far, as well as serving as an arranger on other artist's recordings. Born Konstantin Efimov in St. Petersburg, Russia, Kostia was raised by his grandmother, while his parents worked in East Germany. Kostia became interested originally in music at the age of four, when his parents sent him a 1937 Wolkenhauer upright piano. Kostia eventually began formally studying the instrument with the aid of a pair of teachers (and later enrolling in the Rimsky/Korsakov Conservatory). The pianist would perform throughout Eastern Europe and Scandinavia, before relocating to the United States during the late '80s. Soonafter, Kostia signed on with the Narada record label, and issued such solo releases as 1994's Suite St. Petersburg: A Piano Portrait and 1996's 10 Pebbles. 1999 saw Kostia issue a ten track tribute to pop master Elton John, Kotia's Interpretations of Elton John, issued via the World Disc label. Additionally, Kostia has helped arrange music for other fellow Narada recording artists, including David Arkenstone (1991's In the Wake of the Wind, 1993's Chronicles and Robot Wars, plus 1994's Another Star in the Sky) and Michael Gettel (1992's Places in Time. Kostia also lent his piano skills to the 2000 solo release by longtime Phil Collins/Genesis guitarist, Daryl Stuermer, Another Side of Genesis. — Greg Prato

Vstrecha desitvitel'no priyatnaya! Ya i ne ozhidal, chto v Moskve kto-nibud' znaet "Sweetbottom"! Privety i pozhelaniya obyazatel'no peredam segodnya zhe vecherom - my igraem  na otkrytii populyarnogo na Midwest festivalya "Summerfest" v Milwaukee. Srazu posle nas budet igrat' zamechatel'naya gruppa "Blind Boys" - oni igrayut zavtra na festivale 2 koncerta - posle nas i s Peter Gabriel (v Marcus Ampitheatre). A 6-go ya igrayu s Daryl Stuermer - zakrytie festivalya. Takie, vot, dela ...    Chto kasaetsya "istorii" Sweetbottom, dumayu, chto Vam budet interesno uznat', chto imenno blagodarya "sweetbottom" Silvii, tak skazat', Daryl popal v gruppu Jean Luc Ponti, a potom i v Genesis. Ona stoyala v ocheredi za biletami na koncert Frank Zappa, i s nei razgovorilsya prohozhii, kotoromu ona ochevidno ponravilas'. Slovo za slovo - on priglasil ee na koncert, i dal ei priglasitel'nyi bilet. "Prohozhii" etot byl Chester Thompson - znamenityi udarnik, kotoryi v tot moment igral v gruppe Zappy. Ona priglasila ego na koncert Sweetbottom, kotoryi oni igrali v odnom iz klubov Milwaukee na sleduyushshii den'.  Chester prishel, i privel s soboi George Duke. Oni sygrali s nimi paru veshshei, razgovorilis', i cherez neskol'ko mesyacev George Duke pozvoniul Darylu i priglasil sygrat' ne ego novom al'bome. A eshshe cherez neskol'ko mesyacev Darylu pozvonil Jean Luc Ponti, kotoryi iskal horoshego gitarista sebe v gruppu, i na odnoi iz vecherinok vstretilsya s George Duke, i sprosil ego, net li u nego kogo-nibud' "na primete", kto "nezadorogo" (budget byl ochen' malen'kii) soglasilsya by poehat' s nim  na gastroli. George skazal emu, chto u nego est' "na primete" otlichnyi molodoi paren', kotoryi nikomu neizvesten,  zhivet v Milwaukee, i "dorogo ne voz'met". Darylu bylo 21-22 goda. V gruppe u Jean Luc Ponti on probyl 4 goda, i igral s bassistom Alphonso Johnson, kotoryi proslushivalsya v Genesis, kogda iz Genesis ushel Hacket. V Genesis Alphonso brali, no  im nuzhen byl basist, igrayushshii na gitare.  Alphonso na gitare ne igral, no posovetoval im Daryla, kotoryi, hot' i gitarist, no na basu igraet BLESTYASHSHE! Darylu  pozvonili, on "proslushalsya" (hot'i ne ochen' ohotno, tak kak byl neznakom s muzykoi Genesis, da i interesy ego byli v tot period svyazany s fusion i "jazz-rock", a ne "progressiv rock") i ... Ostal'noe, kak govoritsya - istoriya,  Tak, vot, byvaet ... Hotya i REDKO!     Na segodnya zakonchu - zavtra tyazhelyi den'. Esli u Vas est' kakie-to konkretnye voprosy - s udovol'stviem na nih otvechu!
