I first heard music from this album not on a disc but at a presentation concert within the concert project "Jazz-Kolo". And already after a few minutes of the concert I knew for sure that by all means I was to have this disc – and that it would not be lost among others. Actually, that's just as it happened. Strange: although you could hardly characterize the album as quiet, unemotional – it leaves the feeling of tranquility. As though you have washed you face with morning water... The music carries warm coolness, quiet cheerfulness – here, this is revealed even clearer than on the debut album. Natalia Lebedeva composes wonderful, delicate melodies – and, it seems, does not try to be a rigid dictator. That is why in development of melodies, and in sounding of the rhythm section, one can hear not only confidence, but also – internal freedom. Igor Zakus named this music very feminine, refined – and I would add that in it the heart and mind sound equal, do not argue, search for harmonious interlacing. And discover it – not only in sounds, in the whole atmosphere. This album not just sounds, it constructs a certain space inside the listener – light, fresh, concentrated. Ready to act.

Some of the authors that you'll encounter here are Morgan, McCartney, Bogolyubov, etc. – hence, that's a crossing of quite diverse time, country, and style lines. What that sounds like: as if the boundaries in space and time do not exist. Well, as it should be, actually. Coherence, skills of the quintet are at the highest level, and the new album is another confirmation of that.

The wonderful team Cherkasy Jazz Quintet by Serhiy Krasheninnikov celebrate their 10th anniversary in 2014. "Return Music To Me" is their seventh album already. The pieces recorded on this disc are, to put it mildly, unusual for a classical (by composition) jazz quintet, which is also an adept of the traditional hard bop...

Jazz music, by definition being in a permanent creative quest, at the same time possesses surprising tolerance and is not afraid to look back... The music represented on this disc suggests that we rewind the tape of history for about 50 (and more) years back and plunge in the times when (wonder!) music instruments were still the key transmitters and sources of music.

Thus – thirteen LP albums by "The Beatles", one song from each. Something is closer to the original, something is farther: jazz is music that is free in its creative search and discoveries. Let us hope that this new CD by Cherkasy Jazz Quintet will turn to be a nice present both for fans of "The Beatles", and for fans of jazz...

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...

...a true galaxy of musicians with modern thinking, unique vision of the musical space, and an excellent technique. Actually, already the debut album by Oleh Pashkovsky is a good example of how interesting, thoughtful, versatile the young improvisational music in Ukraine can be.

This is the third album in the official discography of Er.J.Orchestra. And I really hope that it will be not a stop, not completion of the trilogy, but one of the many pearls on the thread. Such music simply must be incarnated, sound, fill the space – at least because honest beauty, dignity, authenticity live in it...

Three musicians with huge experience recorded something transparent, subtle, and humanly simple – something that majority of young ones could not do. Just because there is simplicity which can be saturated, to which you come through hundreds of melodies and thousands of hours of rehearsals and performances.

Volodymyr obviously enjoys this music – and does prevent his colleagues from doing the same) Quietly, nicely, confidently and – in the best sense of it – modestly. One can say this far not about any album: this time the musicians came together exactly for the sake of the music-as-the-state..

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...

This kind of 3D, really composer's vision in jazz is encountered far not every day – and certainly comes into notice. It thrills and inspires some, with some it causes protest – but, as a rule, does not leave indifferent. Because when a feeling stands behind music supported by a developed thought...

It either laughs or winks wilily – or sounds with such pensive tenderness, such forgivene... There is the beauty of every minute, which does not depend on the past or the future, which is – just now, and for this reason – always.

From the first seconds, the album tunes one into attentive perception – even if you have never before heard Olexiy Bogolyubov. And if you have already had the chance, it will a priori be interesting to listen. Internal harmony, balance both of each play and of the disc as a whole – pleasantly delights. "My "Cool & Crazy" World" is a beautiful, diversified work, in which Bogolyubov demonstrated himself well both as the performer, and as the composer.

Paints, и Medium Cool - шедевры украинского искусства. Входят в мой ТОП-10:) Более светлой очищающей музыки сразу и не вспомнишь. Всю ночь слушала мр3, а утром заказала оба оригинальных СД. Музыка Лебедевой и Трио как лакмусовая бумажка, после прослушивания обостряется слух на качественную музыку. Диски в коллекцию. Однозначно!

Оба альбома, и Paints, и Medium Cool просто замечательны. Я никогда не судил музыку по уровню профессионализма -самый титулованный музыкант может вызывать ноль эмоций. Здесь же эмоции - как бы приглушенные, интимные - на самом деле просто зашкаливают. это просто отличная музыка, достойная самых высших оценок. И не важно - будут эти оценки признаны широкой попсовой общественностью. В душах тех, кому эта музыка близка, Наталья Лебедева затронет самые глубинные слои. Спасибо ей.

Очень своеобразный альбом...когда был на концерте - многие композиции звучали с саксофоном...он придавал яркую окраску и более мягкую мелодичность музыке...первый альбом мне более понятен...(может я еще не дорос)))...но в любом случае Наталья Лебедева делает прогрессивный, своеобразный и очень качественный продукт!!!...Спасибо...ждем еще альбомов!

Хочу процитувати uajazz - "дуже мені жаль, що у нас немає джазової премії", бо цей альбом не просто отримав би якусь там статуетку, а переміг як Хенкоківський цього року на Греммі. По всіх статтях найкраща джазова українська робота. Порівняти ні з чим не можу. І, дякую Лебедєвій, дуже красива робота. Пишаюся.
