Piano kolo live. (DVD). // www.UMKA.com.ua

Video version of the concert project "Piano kolo".

Concerts of the second season of the project Jazz-Kolo, in contrast to the first one, were devoted no longer to solo projects, but to specific instruments. Thus, the Piano Kolo concert turned into a mini festival of Ukrainian jazz pianists. And it deservedly caused considerable interest – the program on that evening appeared surprisingly saturated and diversified. Disregarding the variety of styles, there is not a single "occasional" composition. For example, Oleksiy Bogolyubov – romantic and refined, his plays really charmed with their internal energy; or Sergiy Davydov – he was the only one on that evening who was performing solo, but he managed to satiate the space to the very edges with transparent harmony; or Illya Yeresko – he was playing, virtually, in the most emotional way and, at the same time, extraordinarily technically, due to which even complicated moments were perceived surprisingly easily. Well, and so on – we believe that this recording really will not disillusion a single interested listener.

U koli druziv. Jazz-kolo live. (DVD). (In the Circle of Friends)

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.

Sax kolo live. (DVD).

...saxophonists were involved into this concert – seven from among the best ones. However, the division into the best vs. the worst in this case can be only conditional and subjective – as the musicians represented works of absolutely different styles, from avant-garde to pop-jazz. Thus, the concert does not create any hierarchy, but rather offers an opportunity to find out the modern state of the art.

Bass kolo live. (DVD).

..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.

Guitar kolo live. (DVD).

Video version of the concert project "Guitar kolo" (this recording contains more compositions than its audio variant). 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.
