Dmitry "Bobeen" Alexandrov, Jazz Atmosphere. Time After Break.

I first listened to this album at six on a clear morning – but it seems to me that with such music no morning has any chance to be cloudy. On the one hand, there seems no be nothing superfluous – even Aleksandrov, oddly enough, has not added too much pepper, even though he knows how to do it at the level of "excellent". And on the other – the organism works so smoothly, without failures, that the entire album literary flies at one breath. Groove in this case is a common concern, so in this respect every musician plays for himself and "for that guy". Well, if just for oneself – this is already a space for the solo. The major part, naturally, belongs to the saxophone – but there are also enough spacious turns for each participant of Jazz Atmosphere. Quite different in their temperament, capacity, accuracy – they, however, do not tear the pieces into separate fragments, the ensemble remains intact. In fact, it is this integrity, preserved in spite of all the differences among the musicians, that makes "Time After Break" as alive as it is required for a good album.
