- I'm honored to present a new video that we did with my big bro Valeriy Stepanov.
Here's a song called "Self Portrait" by the greatest Mike Mainieri. He performed it with Steps Ahead in 1986 in Tokio. I recently watched this concert again and couldn't resist to record this masterpiece! It's one of my favorite songs, really.
Hope you guys enjoy the video!
Also first i asked a drummer to record the song with me, but he couldn't. Then i thought why not to ask Valeriy to play drums? And i wasn't wrong :)
So he did an incredible job in my opinion - he played drums, keys, melodica and sang the theme a little bit. Also he mixed the sound and edited the video. What a guy!
And played on my favorite instruments too - Le Fay Pangton and Marleaux Soprano.
Enjoy! - เพลง

Thank you Anton and Valeriy. Song brings back memories of the last 7 years. Can't stop crying. Song reminds of my Dad. Much love to you both!,❤️
Hang in there 😥 brother sorry for your loss ❤. I miss my Dad too 💔
Anton is a monster..right up the Jaco level. I have said this before but he keeps growing and growing
Ain’t it the truth?
100%. It’s literally universe class.
Dear Anton:
I have admired respected and loved your bass playing and musicianship for years. You are truly phenomenal. The bass player is the most important member of any group and your playing epitomizes this musical reality.
Makes Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, Nathan East, smile. My goodness gracious! Play, Rewind, Play again. Just beautiful.💖
There's another "Young Bass Player" a Genious "Charles Berthoud" from Chicago, Illinois!!! Unbelievable!!!
Check it UP!!! 🚴🍇🍷🍾🥂🥩☕🍸🎉😇🇲🇽😎
There's an ocean of music in this tune. What a wonderful song. Bless ya.
Dude you are Giant of bass...very nice composition.. cheers to both of you...
Amazing Song ...Just Beautiful , it takes me away to another Place in time , I close my eyes & ALL I see is Peace all around....Just so much Serenity.
Thank Michael Brecker
Honestly Valeriy Stephanov in on par with Cory Henry , one of the great keyboard players of our time. And as for Anton, he is by far the most underrated bass player of the moment. He is up there with Victor Wooten, Jimmy Haslip, Marcus Miller, Federico Malaman... really amazing!
On par? You can say that again
Probably one of my favorite tunes played by Anton
How the F@@K did I miss that masterpiece for 3 years???!!! That is the most beautiful song I've heard in a very long time! BTW, 26 dislikes???!!! WTF is wrong with people these days???!!!

Вот слушаю вас субботним утром, и мало того что получаю огромное удовольствие, в голову лезут всякие философские мыслишки о скоротечности нашей жизни и бренности всего сущего вообще. Прав был тот знаменитый киногерой: "Всё приходяще, а музыка вечна". Поздравляю вас, парни, вы сделали нечто что всех нас переживёт на этом свете. Отличная работа!👍👍👍
Beautiful 👌🏿
Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤
can't stop listening
Спасибо за бальзам. Антон и Валерий, вы, просто, лекари души!
Grande momento di emozione 🙏musicale
Grazie per questa interpretazione di uno dei brani musicali più belli che io abbia mai sentito.
E' emozionante anche solo leggere questo tuo commento. Figuriamoci ascoltare questo capolavoro.
Il brano è di Mike Mainieri, lo suonava con gli Steps Ahead. E' in assoluto uno dei brani più belli degli Steps. E questa versione è strabiliante
Two of the greatest musicians of modern Russia taking fours...you guys and girls rule
Yep...
Anton Valeriy ..... This is lovely..... great touch great empathy towards the melody .... Top tune .... drummer bro very sensitive to the playing ..... 'Pat Metheny tshirt' shows where you're coming from mood /melody-wise. Quality recording. Inspiring to listen to! Hi from London UK!
Absolutely agree with you, listening I thought Meteny
Просто сказать что вы сделали это лучше оригинала - это значит ничего не сказать! Так по своему рассказать историю! Парни, вы гениальные музыканты! Спасибо вам! Третий день хожу с этой темой, не могу забыть ее)
Спасибо большое за теплые слова!
Telling a story is a one of best parta of music! I enjoy this comment so much 😃
Fabulous does not come close to describing this arrangement - I come back and listen often. BRAVO!
Thanks a lot for your kind words!
you can never have enough of listening this guys!! They don´t play just music, is an universe they must have been to, reserved to very few, and they are letting us know how it sounds. I´m not stoned I swear.
Yep...
Exceptional. Just beautiful music with universe-class musicians/artists.
I think the word FEELING sums this composition up, must bring up memories for everybody.
уже второй день слушаю и слушаю и слушаю..Ну просто МОЁ на данный момент. Спасибо!:)
Again - after all this time - I cannot thank you enough for this wonderful piece of music - Anton, you are a monster player!
Absolutely stunningly beautiful rendition......
Eirik S. what kind of instrument at 5:17?

Dude, just read descriptions of videos :)
Jaw-dropping music.
Fabuleux!!! La plus belle impro bass de tous les temps. Ils sont géants ces messieurs.
Beautiful!!!
Two genious. Working in the same vibration. Beautiful peace of music.
And who couldn’t use Valeriy on their project. Everything he touches turns to gold. And you Sir, once again you’re bass playing is magnificent. From a bass players point of view in my humble opinion is one of the best songs I’ve heard in a long time! Nice remake, nicely done! I just wish you all didn’t live so far away. May the peace of music be with you! 👍✌️
Thank you so much for such kind and warm words!
Great work! This is just amazing! So very beautiful!
Wow! Listening to steps ahead this morning. This song is my favorite. And quite naturally the algorithm brought me to you and your cover of this song. Bravo 👏🏾 and superb. I might be 8 years late on this cover, but as we all know beautiful music is timeless. Great job!!
I come back to this,year after year..its like a home to me,full of memories.
Got chills listening to this.
Thank you for putting this out!
A very subtle and truly eloquent tribute to the original, great job; goose bumps all around ….

Absolutely wonderful! ~Namaste - I bow to you
Une des plus belles compositions du Step Ahead magnifiquement jouée ici. Ca m'a rappelé de beaux souvenirs de l'année 1985 quand je me repassait la cassette cet album en prenant le train pour Paris.
A journey of notes that are a magical massage of ones soul....
Anton and Valerie, you did a great job. I listen to you, and I can not get enough of that in our country there are such musicians. I myself once played both funk and fusion. I play on the bass guitar, and all these areas I had the most favorite. Slap I learned in 1974, and then the musicians reproached me that I was playing on the MENA like the guitar. They didn't like my solo bass. I just smiled and said that soon everyone will play like that. Guys!!! I shake your hands and wish you continued success. With respect - Anatoly Sinitsyn.
Absolument magnifique ! Bravo les gars...
wow... this is such a great arrangement ...
Well here I am back listening to an incredible piece of emotion...
