Here it is written in blue and yellow that he, Roman Habal, is a highly skilled musician-saxophonist, a composer by vocation (otherwise he would not be able to improvise properly on the well-known themes like these ones), a lecturer at Lviv State musical college named after S. Lyudkevych – the department of "Musical Art of Variety Art" - and, at last, the chief conductor of Lviv State Circus. Not bad, isn’t it? So, you do understand what is recorded at this disc. Actually, we would not call it definitely jazz – all in all, at this disc we are most likely having a variety show option – but still there is certain part of jazz here. Because, as I have already mentioned, these are instrumental (without vocal singing) improvisations on general themes, that is, on folk songs, as well as on the songs equated with folk songs. And it is understandable quite well that the main musical instrument recorded in this album is a saxophone. It sounds quite well. In addition, such experiments are not widespread in Ukrainian variety art yet.

..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.

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.

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...

"Fever" is a studio work. So, on the one hand, there is no living "breathing of the audience", the proper concert experience. But on the other – there is no room for concerns, everything is polished to shine (although, I must say, at concerts the quartet also sounds so smoothly that sometimes it seems almost unbelievable)...

"Swing Cocktail" is a present for all those who love the emotions of "live" recordings and, respectively, concert features of performance of evergreens. Moreover, this time the purely saxophone composition has been expanded – on the album, you will have a chance to hear the clarinet, piano, bass, and drums. They do not sound in every piece – in this case, these are rather spices.

The album is a collection of concert recordings – and here, you will find not only jazz evergreens performed by the saxophone quartet, which would be quite natural. As evident from the title – "Classics & Jazz", half of the album is composed of classical pieces – Bach, Purcell, Bizet – and this is, admittedly, very specific pleasure.

"Brutal pop power" – so they call it. But there is a great temptation to also add other words: post-rock plus acoustic acid jazz with trip hop education – something like this, probably. However, all these names do not contradict each other – because music like this as it is means going beyond the limits of specific style...

...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.

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.

...just before one's eyes. That is, when listening to, for example, the play "Two women who have not seen each other for a long time" – you will clearly see the women, and a small square where they met, the color of their hair and temperaments, will be able to discern the voice of each of them. Such expressiveness of performance really thrills.

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...

This disc was created on the eve of Mykola Lysenko's anniversary – and, perhaps, it should be emphasized that it is work by young performers. It's nice – both because they have managed to record and release this program, and because they chose him – Lysenko. Let us just keep it in mind that one can talk about it, or one can – do it. And it is done – well.

"The duo of H. Safonov and H. Strogan, – according to composer Stankovych, – is the highly-professional ensemble of musicians, who differ due to their rich culture, nice understanding of style and form, delicate test, capability of expression of wide imagination and emotional spectrum: from the finest lyricism to wild wide-open emotion..."

This is the feeling as if you look at a picture painted in cool tones – and suddenly you understand that it is warm, very saturated emotionally. Then the colors start creating another pattern... Actually, that is why it seems to us that this disc can become a source of significant pleasure for experienced connoisseurs as well.

The violoncello here lives a saturated live, breathes full breast, flies freely, whispers gently – a great number of colors and emotions are incarnated skillfully, exactly, elegantly. Yes – maybe, it is elegance that may be called one of main features of the album.

...music in their performance sounds bright, enchanting – and intimate. They play as though for the whole world – but also as if only for you and only now. However, the listener must also conscientiously perform his/her attentive, concentrated and relaxed work – otherwise, honest exchange will not be possible. Not to speak – to listen.

This is the case when, even knowing the piece well, you all the same discover it anew – and isn't it one of main signs of musicians' level? Well, and in addition – as well as the last time –you will find in the booklet brief but substantial notes by Leo Witoszynskyj about the works performed here.

Романа Хабаля я знаю особисто. Він був моїм вчителем оркестру та диригування. Диригувати вчив мало, але зате я награвся всі 4 роки у Львівському музмучилищі. :)
Він — дуже хороший диригент й постановник джазових композицій. Як музикант — альбом показує його рівень на всі 100 відсотків. Особисто я хоч й вчився у джазменів, архаїчним джазом я не займаюсь, й мабуть ніколи не буду. Але часом згадати ті совєцькі роки у далекому Львові дуже приємно. :-)

Згідний з відгуком пана Вишенського, музикант радше відпочиває, аніж старається вразити. Це гра пенсіонера, а не віртуоза. Поки почуєш власне соло на інструменті, нудить від елекронних тошнотиків.
Жива музика - це не комп"ютер + фанера...Дякую.

Я замовив диск, спираючись на враження від прослуховування фрагментів. Але фрагменти дуже короткі, тому я дофантазовував продовження музичних композицій і мої очікування боли плодом цих фантазій.
На жаль, мої очікування не справдилися. Стиль виконання схожий скоріше на ресторанний ніж на високий стиль.
Тому пропоную вам в майбутньому прийняти за правило викладати для прослуховування ВСІ композиції альбому і кожна композиція має бути повністю.
Нехай це буде дуже низький бітрейт, щоб не було "шари", але хочеться не купувати "кота в мішку".
Поки ця пропозиція не набере сили я більше нічого замовляти не буду.
