Well and good, a new work appeared in the Ukrainian jazz discography. You’ve got a debut album of Useyn Bekirov, pianist, keyboard player, composer and arranger. For a long while famous and very active musician was preparing to issue his first album. Such things happen...
Those who follow the Ukrainian jazz in principle and fans of authors’ music in the style of fusion with dynamic use of folklore origins will be certainly interested in this work. The album includes only the authors’ pieces of music composed by the Ukrainian jazz musicians - Useyn Bekirov, Armen Kastandyan,Eugen Didyk, and Max Kochetov. Max, by the way, lives and works in Serbia for many years.
Scan the brochure and you will get that Useyn Bekirov can gather the first class musicians. The best Ukrainian bass guitar players, drummers, saxophonists, trumpet and percussion players, guitarists recorded together with Useyn. Both experienced and young ones. 
A star guest was also in the album – a few songs performed by Jamala are true decoration of the disk.
I will not make any special musical analysis. Just listen to the album. And be happy about our musicians gathered together by Useyn Bekirov. Usually jazz journalistic society keep from judging musician’s debut work and wait for the second album.
It just so happened that I’m writing these lines at the day of Useyn birthday, Senya as he fondly named by his friends and colleagues. We’ll make our conclusions when Useyn Bekirov records his second solo disk. 
So, Senya, keep your hands safe!
