Today, "SkhidSide" is one of the most qualitative, successful and active Ukrainian jazz projects. It is considering the fact that during the last two years the structure of the band has changed thrice, and today only the front-man – the saxophonist Dmitry Aleksandrov is left from the first structure. But he has enough energy to "manage" in parallel two more jazz projects, and to take part in recordings of music of other directions, and to have long everyday exercises, and... however, nothing strange. So simple from the outside, he has in his eyes those very sparkles that distinguish an inspired person from a tired one. He is one of those people who disappear when music starts – there remains only the music, so varied, but always alive. For this reason, it changes time and space – this is why I do not even speak about the masterful performance, it goes without saying. Fortunately, there are a lot of such musicians today in our country – real ones. And, to my greatest satisfaction, you now hear them more and more distinctly. By the way, speaking about the real. It is musicians of the group that said about their "SkhidSideMen" album that the world had seen pure jazz. I won't argue – as personally I had exactly the same feeling about this music. The feeling of pure, fair, simple in its wisdom – fire... And no doubt that this is – real. Anton Jozhik Leyba (Hedgehog) Dmitry "Bobeen" Alexandrov – tenor sax Volodymyr Shabaltas – guitar Illya Yeres'ko – piano Valentyn Kornienko – double bass Olexander Lebedenko – drums

A trio is an optimum option when you have a lot of topics for a conversation, but at the same time you need brevity. And – this is a challenge. Reduction of the composition has logically resulted in that sounding of all the instruments involved acquired more voluminous tints (...) Refined and simple, free and expressive – this program has already had time to acquire the name of a "truly European" one.

...during the recent two hundred years, the clarinet has been one of main voices of both folk and author music on our planet. Its ability to convey the most delicate emotional tints and states, from a hotshot scream to tender whisper, from merry laughter with sad eyes to an act of magic, from the bazaar of nightclubs to universal clarity – strikes.

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.

...if we could hear what we say – probably, we would keep silent. But – we do speak. And what is then left for our words but for the echo of our pace? What is then left for our eyes but for memory? And who are we then if not prophets? – for we walk in a circle, that is why we as though know everything in advance...

...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.

In skilful hands, it is capable of anything. The triptych "Bravo, Sax!" is called to prove it – and it copes with the task very convincingly. There is the whole palette. Delicately? Yes. Delicately enough to look simple. Interesting? You bet. It is a very bright release.

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...

"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...

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..

..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...

..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. But another thing is always the main one: whether the musicians succeed in revealing themselves in music – and, thus, revealing the audience with the music. And here, presumably, there will be no objections: all of that – happened!

...raising a glass and proposing a toast to health of our Cherkasy musicians, to these surprising, talented and enthusiastic people. To the musicians, who, under the guidance of the tireless Sergey Krasheninnikov, for 15 years already have been playing and making the audience happy with their compositions unique in all respects (for this is improvisation!).

The album is devoted to work by Freddie Hubbard – maybe, the most skillful and multi-style trumpeter in the history of jazz. For two decades, Hubbard, according to data of a questionnaire poll by "DownBeat" magazine competed for the title of the leading jazz trumpeter with Miles Davis..

Everything coincides on that spring evening – the mood, energy, mastery. And – the internal freedom of people who came together to once again create a common language... And we could describe the swift and lyrical Aleksandrov, the artistic Fantaev, thoughtful and easy-going Arnautov, light and deep at the same time Soskin, but music lies – in different thing...

..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.

VSH-Ensemble can be considered a temporary concert project, a sort of a gamble. However, in view of the quality of the music material represented here, one would like to believe that activity of the project will not be ended thereon – in the end, as they say, it is temporary things that last the longest... At all events, it seems that "Acid Menu" has succeeded for one hundred percent.

Season 2007 was opened and closed with performances by, actually, Igor Zakus with Z-Band – and the both concerts have now become constituent parts of this series. At closing of the season, an absolutely new program sounded – "Kolomyiky". Well, and the program "Zakus Was Here" sounded during the opening, and it is it that you are going to hear here.

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...
