To start with, let us just state: the studio collection of the project Jazz-Kolo devoted to Ukrainian pianists is the largest one in volume – this is, as you can see, a double disc. It seems to us that two reasons worked here at once. One, obviously, has the exclusively technical nature – in the case with other instruments (see the collections Sax Kolo, Bass Kolo, Guitar Kolo), presumably, it just appeared impossible to collect such number of qualitatively recorded studio material. For the rule is simple: one musician – one composition. Well, and Piano Kolo testifies to that jazz projects here tend, mainly, exactly to the piano. Moreover – and this is nothing new either – there are just physically more of professional pianists than of bass guitarists, sax players, etc. Well, and the second reason is of a more creative nature: it appears that projects by our pianists engulf a very extensive palette of styles – which is pleasant. From pop-music to avant-garde, with a number of bright tints between these two extremities – besides, truly lots of very young musicians are represented here. It has already been mentioned that the whole series of studio collections of the series Jazz-Kolo is planned as a sort of a reference book on Ukrainian jazz musicians (though not maximally complete – but maximally indicative). Well, and the studio recording Piano Kolo is a wonderful illustration of that Ukrainian jazz not just lives, but also develops smartly and interestingly.

Our best drummers are so different from each other and create such different music that it just makes one happy. And this diversity, it seems, in some paradoxical way results in that the main characters of this concert virtually do not compete with each other – everybody does something own, special indeed.

Another volume of the audio reference book by the "Jazz Kolo" project is, as you see, focused on masters of drumkit playing. It is nice to see that this time there again appears so much material that the compilers did not manage to squeeze everything into one disc. It is nice to see that there is enough space both for "veterans" of the Ukrainian jazz, and for the absolutely young generation..

I'm so glad that Ukrainian saxophonists became the next to contribute to our Jazz-Kolo's compilation/anthology CD series. As well as it was supposed to be, this CD presents variety of styles and approaches, which can be found in Ukrainian jazz. We didn't mean to be absolutely "objective" but our goal is that all the saxophonists are different from each other, and that any listener can find music for his/her taste.

In contrast to the previous season, when each concert of the series was a performance of some concrete collective, in the new season the concerts are organized round some concrete instrument. Accordingly, saxophonists were involved into this concert – seven from among the best ones.

..the quality and volume of the material represented inspired organizers for a rather decisive step: this concert of the project has become the first one released in the two-disc format – because, according to Igor Zakus, it was just impossible to give up any of the plays represented here for the sake of squeezing into the format of one disc.

..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.

This series sets the goal of creating a sort of a reference book of Ukrainian jazz musicians – grouping them by spheres of professionalization. Actually, the first disc of the new series is focused on the bass – both the bass guitar and the contrabass. At that, this time these are already studio, not concert recordings.

During the Guitar Kolo concert, the main tone was set by fusion – but on the studio collection it does not really strike the eye. And that is for good – because every retreat from a general direction looks even brighter then. And here you, in fact, have enough of such retreats.

It happened so that I did not attend this concert – and the very first two plays from the disc made me feel sorry about that. 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.
