As we know, the first series of "Jazz-Kolo" discs represents live-records of the concerts that take place within the framework of this project. However, the project develops, rises to a new level – so, the second series of releases within Jazz-Kolo has already been launched. This series sets the goal of creating a sort of a reference book of Ukrainian jazz musicians – grouping them by spheres of professionalization. Actually, the first disc of the new series is focused on the bass – both the bass guitar and the contrabass. At that, this time these are already studio, not concert recordings – and a few tracks were even recorded especially for the sake of the "Bass Kolo" disc. Moreover, some of these recordings until now could only be found in private collections, while they do deserve being heard by as many people as possible. Clear thing, at such conditions one could hardly expect real stylistic integrity – because every musician independently selected the play to represent him in this collection. However, saying that this is just vinaigrette that does not have its own artistic value beyond the talk about jazz bass players – would be unfair either. Still, Igor Zakus as the initiator and compiler, obviously, did everything possible in order that the collection sounded not only colorful, eloquent – but also harmonious. If he did intend that – he has truly succeeded in it. We have received not just a volume of a dry encyclopedia, but a bright, juicy collection of high-quality sketches, which it is interesting to listen to in any case. Although it will probably be most interesting for those who feel butterflies in their stomach as soon as they hear bass...

Our best drummers are so different from each other and create such different music that it just makes one happy. And this diversity, it seems, in some paradoxical way results in that the main characters of this concert virtually do not compete with each other – everybody does something own, special indeed.

Another volume of the audio reference book by the "Jazz Kolo" project is, as you see, focused on masters of drumkit playing. It is nice to see that this time there again appears so much material that the compilers did not manage to squeeze everything into one disc. It is nice to see that there is enough space both for "veterans" of the Ukrainian jazz, and for the absolutely young generation..

Switch off the TV set and the phone, close... no, open windows wide and let the morning into the house, or the evening, or whether there is – and listen. It seems that this music will match any time of the year, any mood and state having made it more transparent than it used to be.

With such music, it is easy to start one’s day, it is easy to go through it, easy to meet evenings and midnights. Nevertheless, whatever you might do, it is characteristic of female singing to harmonize the space – and here, on the disc, this property is revealed very brightly and convincingly. Ladies, be proud!

In contrast to the previous season, when each concert of the series was a performance of some concrete collective, in the new season the concerts are organized round some concrete instrument. Accordingly, saxophonists were involved into this concert – seven from among the best ones.

..the quality and volume of the material represented inspired organizers for a rather decisive step: this concert of the project has become the first one released in the two-disc format – because, according to Igor Zakus, it was just impossible to give up any of the plays represented here for the sake of squeezing into the format of one disc.

..this evening interesting and even to some extent unexpected "specialized" combinations popped up unexpectedly – as, for example, the bass guitar plus contrabass, the acoustic bass plus the 8-string one, and so on, to say nothing about the last performance of the concert – a piece performed by all bass musicians involved.

It happened so that I did not attend this concert – and the very first two plays from the disc made me feel sorry about that. Jazz-fusion in various displays, for every participant has his own vision of this style – is really an interesting thing, especially when played well. And with that everybody coped, you would not even dare to say who on that evening sounded more poignantly.
