VSH-Ensemble, Vladimir Shabaltas. Acid Menu live. (DVD).
Video version of the concert album "Acid Menu live 2008".

Volodymyr Shabaltas rather long ago abandoned the Skhid-Side group and now practices more commercial music, this is nothing new. Consequently, VSH-Ensemble can be considered a temporary concert project, a sort of a gamble. However, in view of the quality of the music material represented here, one would like to believe that activity of the project will not be ended thereon – in the end, as they say, it is temporary things that last the longest... At all events, it seems that "Acid Menu" has succeeded for one hundred percent. Very dense, saturated – but at the same time also transparent, elevated music sounds here. Speaking about the performance technique – it ranges from good to just virtuoso, and that can be said about virtually each of participants of this concert. In general, it is nice to note the tolerant attitude of the musicians to each other – especially considering that all that takes place round the guitarist who practically for the first time in several years "goes wild" in a solo program. But Shabaltas' guitar does not stand out at the expense of the other instruments, does not press. Actually, quite often it even retreats into the shade, whispers almost unnoticed – lets others speak out. But they, on their side, do not draw the blanket either, but skillfully intertwine patterns into it – and there appears not just a set of bright flashes, but an eloquent, colorful picture, real concerted space. We can say briefly: hold on – and last on!

Off-Quar-Tet, ShockolaD. Jazz:Kolo:Bez. Live. (DVD).


One can already see from the very name: this concert became a joint project of Lviv festival "Jazz Bez" and the Kyiv series of mini-festivals "Jazz-Kolo". However, two concerts took place on that evening in actual fact – and those performances were so different that almost no temptation even arises to compare them with each other.

Nataliya Lebedeva Ensemble. Medium Cool live. (DVD).


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..

Vitaliy Ivanov Quartet. Returning live. (DVD).


It sounds as very delicate, intelligent combination of clear feelings and attentive reflections. All through the time while the disc sounds, one has the haunting feeling that the musicians realize themselves and the space around literally at every second – and are able to instantly react to its every motion, because they have inside a full degree of freedom and mastery.

Z-Band, Igor Zakus. Kolomyyky live. (DVD).


This disc is double exclusive. First – as any recording of a live concert, it has fixated instantaneous changes of moods and states of the musicians, fluctuations of temperature in the hall. This is evident. But the main thing – now you have in front of you not just a concert by Igor Zakus with friends, but also a presentation of his absolutely new program, "Kolomyyky".
