In his time, Igor Zakus became virtually the first jazz bass-player in Ukraine who released a solo album (currently, there are already 5 studio and concert CDs and 1 DVD). 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 – out of the 11 plays, only two are instrumental ones. The idea is good and, lately, very popular in the whole world. Igor tracks global trends, therefore no wonder that he decided to support this idea – but in his own manner. Pay attention to the album's content: two folk songs, one "evergreen" (with Ukrainian lyrics), and the rest – exclusively author material. Interesting, cool material – authentic. Plus the individual aspect of the work – the interpretation method: this time Igor decided to step back from funk moods and tricks giving obvious preference to the depth of pauses and the fragile force of melodies. Well, and the fact that the realization as a result appears just cool – nobody, I believe, could expect anything different, because Zakus has always aspired to top quality. And – sure, he achieves it. In the end, listen. Even if you don't know that the voices of Nina Matvienko, Yulia Roma, Mlada, Tetyana Balakyrska sound on the disc. Even if you don't know that Z-Band are, actually, the best Ukrainian jazzmen, a sort of a "dream team". Listen. And say – isn't it beautiful, isn't it strong, isn't it gentle?..

..despite the Oriental sophistication of the melodies and intricacy of the rhythms – it is very European music, in fact. And it is not so much about the jazz vein, rather about the ability to avoid the superfluous, which, with such richness and emotional intensity of the music, is a true feat.

Ukrainian music must have its national coloring, which was inherent in such variety art composers as Mayboroda, Shamo, Skoryk, Homa, Yanovsky, Ivasyuk. The song is the basis of our modern life – difficult, even cruel one. With the help of a beautiful song a person becomes better.

If we speak about Yulia Roma – it is not just a new vocal album. This is truly an author work. What is the sparkle here, you might ask? And it is that this is a Ukrainian-language jazz album – and exactly Yulia Roma is the author of not only the music but also all the lyrics (a booklet with them, by the way, is added to the release). Such an exclusive thing.

Yelena Popova strikes with universality, it is difficult to define where she succeeds better – in energetic "hits" or in lyric, delicate ballads. Here she sounds with a bright flash, promises an explosion – and does not cheat, grants powerful emotional splashes. And in a minute – softly, almost in whisper lulls in cozy intonations, causes quiet tremor with her ability to breathe transparently in thick autumn color...

...the basis of the album is vocal improvisations. And so diversified that every next play surprises you without fail. On the whole, it seems, the music balances somewhere on the verge of hard-bop, besides, it contains some transparent ethnic elements.

It is not enough to have a valuable, high-quality instrument – it is desirable to master it as well. Olga – has mastered it so that we can only be grateful to her. Especially when she sings in lowercase – then, the thought flashes that in Ukraine, presumably, there is simply nobody to compare with her...

...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...
