I do not even know whether I should refer to Illya's music as complicated one. Objectively, presumably, yes although, to my mind, its flow and development in every play is so natural, easy that the architecture just steps back to the background. Because in his hands the music matter stops being an abstract idea it comes back to life..

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.

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.

Philip Dovgan is quite a young composer, now he is only 14. However, it did not prevent him from recording a full-value author disc. Moreover, the "Constellation of Dolphins" is not just a selection of compositions by Philip, this is an album, which has its concept and integral structure.

"Sofia" is not something soft and sweet. Fresh improvisation music with the Slavonic flavor bright and rather poignant music, which in no way fits for serving as just a background. It requires attentive listening, and it is just pleasant to listen to it attentively, to track the line of each instrument...

Igor Djachenko is a remarkable Kyiv saxophonist with huge experience and skills that one could envy. His saxophone is not an instrument, it is a voice of a person who grieves and dances, enjoys ice cream and plants a tree near the house. As a rule...

"Kolomyikas" is a good album with bright pieces that are able to capture the audience as it is, even without associations with the material it derives from. In the end, there was no "weak link" in the team of the albums creators. That is, probably, the reason why, without regard to the intense structure, there is within the music fabric freedom, which makes it possible to breathe deeply.

In his time, Igor Zakus became virtually the first jazz bass-player in Ukraine who released a solo album. Thus, the new album by Igor Zakus is what nobody seems to have done before in the Ukrainian jazz. And the word "song" in the title "Ukrainian Bass Song" appears far not by chance. Generally speaking, this is also an album of duets

Listen how soft but bright the instrument sounds in his hands, how much of his sincere heart is given to it you can hardly mix this handwriting with anything else. I am sure even if only the bass by Igor Zakus sounded on the disc, it would be a rich, varied jazz album...

You feel that this music sounds not in the usual manner, but because it is composed for close people, with whom you may speak without words (sometimes it is even worth speaking without words).

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..

..these are anyway not flashes or explosions, but light fog, hints, mid-tones, mid-shades.. Heat and cool interweave here rather whimsically one only needs to make a little step aside to be inside, in the heart of the music, and for it to appear in one's heart.

..there are things that "penetrate" even without special training and this album deserves attention no matter how well you're familiar with the blues. As it is played extremely deliciously with appropriate conciseness, but not dryness. Because it is played by young jazz musicians, hence "Hypnotized!" has incorporated features of both blues and jazz..

Above all, Viktor Krysko is known as the constant member of the original Kyiv project Er.J.Orchestra, although recently he pays no less attention to the so-called K-Trio Roman Kolyada's project. Well, and the album "Cinema Graffiti" introduces us to his somewhat different hypostasis. That of a composer.

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.

Myroslav Levytsky, as known, is one of the brothers who founded the jazz group "Braty Bluzu", which is significant for Ukraine. Today we offer to you to deeper, more attentively estimate Myroslav both as a composer, and as a pianist. Because, first, he just deserves that, and secondly because what if not a solo album creates the best opportunity for this?

It all started with a couple of pieces for the play "Marriage of Figaro" and the audience liked the new approach so much that they started asking Igor for continuation. Actually, he did continue that is how an entire program of not piano music, as it was before, but synthesizer one by Igor Mamushev appeared...

..on the one hand the fantasy of jazz musicians. And on the other, all these laces of motions and patterns are thought over and embodied so confidently and easily that this ease allows one to not focus too much, but skip and let it go to the back of ones mind right away. Instead, one listens to the main melodic line, the beauty and the flexible power of the voice..

As the title promises, the album has turned out quite strange but in a good sense. This is the strangeness that can only be afforded by good, versatile musicians otherwise, originality may easily turn into farce, showing off. This did not happen here one virtually feels with one's skin in what a thin, delicate way all of that is compiled.

...the silent poetry of the atmospheric, almost supernatural winds appeared against the background of clear, transparent rhythms and sometimes fluctuating, changeable bass and key lines. This music seems to pull into some mystic circle, however it also tears, transforms it with sporadic emotional splashes, does not let it calm down melancholically, provokes attention.

Is it really so [im]possible to imagine a Court, where the could [not] be exactly this court music? One of answer options [chomub.ini]. ..It is time to start producing one's own blocks for the game, or to radically change the methods of their combining. It is time to search for harmony in combination of the Infrared with the Ultraviolet, the Hard with the Fluffy, or the Wavy with the Rectilinear...

To enrich them with modern colors without destroying the subtle paths of the light joy inherent in Christmas carols and shchedrivkas which is not an easy task. Since it requires great attention and tolerance. Finally, it just requires love for this music, for the roots and love that is creative. And it seems they have succeeded.

...Yulia Roma's singing sounds just as that minute of silence before the sunrise, as if blue eyes of a child three-month old, attentively and easily... Music of this voice transforms jazz into soft crystal, it is so masterful that it does not attract any superfluous attention but you cannot actually stop listening, noticing, feeling and the sun rises, and the heart elate...

This album is a tribute to rich musical tradition and also the result of many years work on performing and composing traditional flamenco. I have been learning to play to reach the soul of this musical phenomenon, to reveal the secrets of the art of flamenco.. Eugen Sedko

..it seems that "My Day" is the first Ukrainian jazz album "spin" round the button accordion... Spin perfectly Kostyantyn Strelchenko has proved to be a true master. This refers, sure, to the purely technical virtuosity as well and it does impress. But one would like to separately emphasize another mastery, the internal one...

..it will not be an overstatement if we say that the debut album by Fantaev has been virtually the most expected jazz release 2008 in Ukraine. But even more than that already following the first concert presentations after the recording but before the official release of the disc, "First Kiss" was named the best jazz program of the year.
