Er. J. Orchestra. On the Hill Again. (special CD+DVD edition).
It is really a valuable release – and the thing is, certainly, not only the price. I would not say for all music fans of the world – it is a matter of taste, certainly. But for everyone who values work by Er. J. Orchestra it is good news, a precious present. If we take the CD, the complete version of the album "On of the of Hill Again" is presented here for the first time – and that is three compositions more than in the release of 2002. You should agree that in the case when almost each piece can be justly considered a pearl, addition of three of them is cool. As for the DVD – there, sure, you also have enough pleasant surprises. It does not contain video clips in the usual understanding of this word. The first four compositions – they are, rather, a music and documentary piece, an attempt of visualizing of not even the music, but the feelings behind it. That is also true about the film "Blissful Island" (the starting point for it was prose of Olexiy Oleksandrov). The three final chapters – pictures, interviews, slides, fragments of concert performances. In other words – real rarities that you will not find anywhere else. But let us go back to music. Sure, Er. J. Orchestra is one of the most interesting Ukrainian projects in the domain of ethno-fusion today. And not only Ukrainian ones. Actually, this music is so organically intertwined into the world sound fabric – it is impossible to limit it with any borders, geographic or stylistic, etc. You should consider that if you know only the album "Gabrielius", this knowledge will not help you here. "On of the Hill Again" is no less interesting, but – different in what relates to the methods of space forming. It seems to collects quite different streams round the center – but it does not have that center in itself. The center is inside of you, the audience. A flying fish trembles in the air, and the sun sparkles on its flippers, and salty drops fall down on its shade, and all that is so quickly... fragments of your mirror are scattered all around the world – only some of them became flames of yellow candles, and others – they have hidden in corners of this globe... do not be afraid. They are waiting for you. Here.

...for the first time we have a separate release of high-quality recording of a concert performance by our, Ukrainian jazzmen. At that – three discs, three concerts at once! And – really great concerts. Therefore, if you are interested in Ukrainian jazz, but you did not attend those performances – do not pass by)

U koli druziv. Jazz-kolo live 2007. (DVD). (In the Circle of Friends)


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.

You now see in front of you not just discs, but a full-fledged, important step forward. These are first in Ukrainian practice independent, separate jazz DVDs.

Igor Zakus, Z-Band. Kolomyyky live 2007. (DVD).


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".

Kaktus Fresh. Kaktus in Kolo live 2007. (DVD).


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...

Anno Domini. Galilee.


If we begin from the end, we could do it so: this is a wonderful, heartfelt, clear, high-quality album – and at present this is the best album in the reserve of Anno Domini. All previous experience, all best qualities acquired new depth here, started shining with new colors. And if we begin from the beginning...

Fusion Orchestra. Apocrypha.


Yes, in this music you can still hear well the hot southern sun – but still, on the foreground, you have original cool elegance. And one can feel based on which law the space of the disc is designed: rather not to satiate, but to extend this space as much as possible – but softly.
Domestic price: 44.12UAH, International price: $10.92USD

Yuriy Kovtun. BraviBelli.


...the album at once creates elated, festive mood – but in a surprising way. In the correct way. Because, although about a half of the compositions can hardly be called merry ones – a smile is very expressly felt in them. Somewhere dim, somewhere transparent, somewhere dreamy, somewhere thoughtful – but it is present in each piece, and it warms.
Domestic price: 36.04UAH, International price: $8.92USD

Motion Trio. Pictures from the Street.


It seems to me that none who has at least once heard performance by Motion Trio – and the more so none who has seen it – will ever forget, mix it up with anybody. And the thing is not only original composition – although you will hardly find among performers of jazz, art rock, folk fusion another trio what would consist exceptionally of accordions.

Mlada. O vesna, vesna. (Oh spring, spring)


Are you interested in Ukrainian folk songs? Fine. And what about jazz? Or, may be, some ethnic music would be all right? Eastern or Western? Or, may be, you prefer classical string quartette – a violin, a violin, a viola, a violoncello? Still may be, wouldn’t it be better to listen to a light trip-hop? Or may be art-rock – a light one? Then, I think, everything is understandable – all that is exactly here and exactly now, besides, there is something else.

Fusion Orchestra. Octagon.


It is great pleasure – to listen to music that has let in, changed, satiated and breathed out so many bright impressions, lives, root... When music is wide open – everybody can drink from it, see one's face in it, find in its one's real.
Domestic price: 44.12UAH, International price: $10.92USD

Revenko Music. Felicity.


Airy, almost weightless, joyful – although with a light pensive note, but without anchors of sorrow. This is not slow, heated summer – rather, fresh coolness of early spring, which is not afraid to become an attentive autumn in the course of time.
Domestic price: 32.00UAH, International price: $7.92USD

Er. J. Orchestra. Gabrielius.


Only natural things can be like that – the sea in any weather, a streamlet somewhere in the mountains, the eyes of a horse or a deer, a green greeting of an old willow, a smile of an infant …
