Sergiy Ovsianikov. Narechena. (Bride)

(item from the "Rare Discs" section)
"Ovsianikov has realized his long-time dream – to play in the composition of a trio and exclusively his own pieces.

The value of this disc, above all, lies in the musicians' approach to the material: the album was recorded within just one shift in the studio, in order to preserve the freshness of feelings arising during a joint performance. Maybe, that is the reason why this album is so easy to listen to. It is free of any external effects. Ovsianikov together with the young bass guitarist Kostyantyn Ionenko and the old and reliable partner, the drummer Serhiy Tabunschyk tries to reproduce the stylish sounding of a jazz guitar trio – by the way, the first one in the Ukrainian jazz discography.

There is no use speaking about Serhiy's music – one should listen to the album. Listen and appreciate the talent of Ovsianikov the composer, the teamwork of the musicians and the genuine jazz spirit penetrating through this disc. As well as, by the way, Ovsianikov's love to his guitar, which still remains his "bride".
