Strange: although you could hardly characterize the album as quiet, unemotional it leaves the feeling of tranquility...the heart and mind sound equal, do not argue, search for harmonious interlacing. And discover it not only in sounds, in the whole atmosphere.

The disc represents most of the compositions from the second album by Nataliya Lebedeva "Medium Cool", two compositions from the album "Paints", as well as three plays that have not yet been released before. As a special guest, Artem Mendelenko took part in the concert on that evening his saxophone sounded as though he has always been in that music..

All the musicians appear in some new, specific and delicate light - and, I believe, this is a merit of Lebedeva as a composer. It is not by chance that Igor Zakus at the beginning of the evening referred to her music as very female one... Expressive and soft, caring; elegant, distinct and, at the same time, very emotional, open to intercourse; sometimes anxious and very lyrical...

With such music, it is easy to start ones 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!

Colors permanently change, mix up, sometimes in quite strange directions for some musicians migrate from one team to another, practically never leaving the scene. As a result, there arises absolutely warm, friendly, "private" atmosphere curiously combining the sense of the large scene and, at the same time, the feeling of an almost family jam in a small club.

...one of the most interesting jazz compilations released in Ukraine. Here, it is just impossible to expressly favor any compositions forgetting about the rest: too expressive, interesting, deep, and the main thing diversified pieces sound on the disc. In the end, one could just look at the names, listen to the fragment...
