I first heard music from this album not on a disc but at a presentation concert within the concert project "Jazz-Kolo". And already after a few minutes of the concert I knew for sure that by all means I was to have this disc – and that it would not be lost among others. Actually, that's just as it happened. Strange: although you could hardly characterize the album as quiet, unemotional – it leaves the feeling of tranquility. As though you have washed you face with morning water... The music carries warm coolness, quiet cheerfulness – here, this is revealed even clearer than on the debut album. Natalia Lebedeva composes wonderful, delicate melodies – and, it seems, does not try to be a rigid dictator. That is why in development of melodies, and in sounding of the rhythm section, one can hear not only confidence, but also – internal freedom. Igor Zakus named this music very feminine, refined – and I would add that in it the heart and mind sound equal, do not argue, search for harmonious interlacing. And discover it – not only in sounds, in the whole atmosphere. This album not just sounds, it constructs a certain space inside the listener – light, fresh, concentrated. Ready to act.
