Notes
- "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.
- So that's another instrumental mini-anthology from Jazz-Kolo. Sax Kolo, this time, and more to come.
- I'd like to thank Julia Oliynyk and Tempora Publishers, all the musicians presented, Viachek Kryshtofovych Jr., Alex Kogan, Victor Ovchinnikov, and everyone who will listen to this CD.
