Er.J.Orchestra. Gabrielius. /digi-pack/

Stop! It is intolerable to disregard this music. So, attention, please! There’s in front of you a reedition of the first album of the group – and it is not only pleasant to hold this disc in hands, but it is also worth doing that. Even if you don’t know, which music it carries. You should simply take a cover, slowly study it, read free verses published on a loose leaf. A feeling of gentle and filigree quality appears with you in advance. And a feeling of authenticity. Believe me, this presentiment will come true more than at one hundred percent. Because the music of this album is not simply music. It is something expressive and colourful – but it is not a picture, it is not paints. It is something deeper, something transparent. Only natural things can be like that – the sea in any weather, a streamlet somewhere in the mountains, the eyes of a horse or a deer, a green greeting of an old willow, a smile of an infant … only those things that can live may be like that …And alive ones … "Gabrielius" is more than jazz. One may hear inexpressible roots of North and West mixed with fervent rhythms of the South and patterned delicacy of the East. Is it ethno-jazz? Not only that. Not only folk roots, but also contemporaneity and modern language, as well as the face of our whole multi-coloured and multi-faced planet, can be found in this stream. It is impossible to listen to this music once or twice and then to forget. You will keep turning to it again and again. Of course, I don’t guarantee that. But – I hope sincerely.
