It is not a secret that far not everybody likes "potpourris", as often at such concerts you hardly manage to hear/feel one artist, as another one takes the floor – and so it goes on. But pleasant exceptions happen – and the new disc by Jazz-Kolo project deserves exactly this approach. The more so that this concert for closing the first season brought together jazzmen, practically each of whom is regarded as one of the best in the country. That does not mean that absolutely all the pieces represented here sounded perfect and mighty – maybe, it just never happens so in such cases. But the concert inspired for listening to it at one go – that is true. 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. At a certain moment it becomes so comfortable that the scene and the audience form a common circle – it is not by chance that the disc got the name "In the Circle of Friends". Actually, Jazz-Kolo project has again completely justified its name, and that evening everybody was feeling warm in the concert hall – at least, I personally did not notice any cold glance after the concert. However, I was then sitting in the front row) To make it short, listen to the music and interviews, watch the video and photos – and, on occasion, make sure to visit the concert. In the concert, there took part: - Ovsyanikov-Eresko Super Band - acoustic electric quartet of Rodion Ivanov - duet, trio of Natalia Lebedeva - Yuliya Roma "Night Groove" - Kaktus Fresh - Igor Zakus "Z-Band" Video format - PAL.

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.

After the "Bass Kolo" concert it seemed that that was the maximum. But, fortunately, the "Drum Kolo" concert appeared no less interesting – and in some aspects even brighter. By the way, the method of "simultaneous presence" is applied here again, and when two or three drummers on one scene are simultaneously is engaged in the same creation – this is, sure, impressive.

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.

..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.

...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.

"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.

...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.

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..

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.

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".

Thus, the concert within the project Jazz-Kolo, April, 2007. First, you will not find here cliché standards – authors' compositions by our musicians sound here only. And secondly – pay attention to the participants list...
