КРУГЛЫЙ БЕНДПОСМОТРИТЕ…ИЛИ 4/4 ПУТИПАМЯТИ ВЛАДИМИРА КРУГЛОВАПервая композиция Городской романс - отличная джазовая тема и речетатив, RAP или скороговорка, понимайте, как хотите, но, мои уши радуются когда слышат русскую речь в джазе. Думаю, меня поймут все те люди, кто живёт за границей и кому не хватает родной речи.Вторая Большой дом говорит о том, что русские песни на трех аккордах и частушки, так же можно делать по джазовому.Третья пьеса Братские могилы - тоже по своему хороша. А вот четвёртая, по-моему с перебором - пианист единственно правильно попал в ритм на самом последнем аккорде (шутка). Он заглушал голос своим кривым ритмом - это не дает понять слова тем, кто слышит эти стихи впервые. Думаю здесь фри-джазовый подход к этой теме должен был быть, как поддержка голоса, а не помеха ему. В джазе тоже должна быть гармония.Пятая Баллада о любви - очень хорошо получилась у Алексея импровизация. Было похоже, что он взял тенор-саксофон. Мне эта баллада напомнила его альбом Друзья-однополчане, который я обозревал на моем канале.На шестой композиции 2/4 пути барабанщик делает свое дело превосходно - очень хорошее соло, пианист тоже попадает в ритм и дает композиции джазовый настрой. Алексей прекрасно читает и вставляет в нужное место стихи. Пожалуй эту композицию я добавлю в мой плей-лист, как лучшую на альбоме. Тем более там звучат титульные слова.Седьмая Купола - конечно на совести Алексея, ему нравится зажигать по полной и играть сразу на нескольких саксофонах. Здесь он бесится так же, как поется в песне и делает это великолепно. Не зря он играет в театре и хорошо умеет не только играть на саксе, но и делать перфоманс. Песня Про Бермуды полностью в руках и голосе Владимира Круглова - это идеальное соединение гитары и голоса. Очень своеобразное исполнение. По-моему звучит лучше, чем пел Григорий Лепс с гитаристом вместе взятые (3 из 5 альбомов Лепса песен Высоцкого на моем канале). Про шахматы также слышу впервые и здесь надо отметить коллективные подпевки всех музыкантов, они также радуют своими эмоциями, как и в других пьесах.Про Волков - фри-джаз пианиста более понятный и искусный чем в военной песне. Но громкость, вернее сведение инструментов конечно могло быть лучше. Если я правильно понял, техника не была подготовлена для записи альбома, а только для концерта.11-я вещь - опять в импровизации Алексея и если честно мне очень хочется побывать на концерте и посмотреть, как он это делает. Чувство ритма у него превосходное, особенно понравилось, как он выходит из своего озорного соло.Финальный трек - также шедевральный, как и все предыдущие. В нём есть всё - рэп, гитара и голос, который очень похож на оригинал, джазовый саксофон и ритм секция уже сыгранная и поймавшая кураж. Блестящий финал альбома, который займёт почётное место в моей коллекции. Мои аплодисменты стоя всем, кто работал над этой записью! Ребята вы классные джазмены, продолжайте в таком же духе!СЛУШАТЬ АЛЬБОМ - https://band.link/kruglybandЛучший трек альбома в плей-листе JAZZ по-русски 10 на AppleMusic и SpotifyПоставь лайк ❤️ и подпишись на канал JAZZ по-русски https://t.me/discor

Pull up a chair. this conversation might change how you think about the art world.
In this replay episode, Margo is joined by multi-passionate creative Kim Bloomberg, the joyful force behind Studio Art Beat. A fine artist, educator, and self-proclaimed art supply nerd, Kim brings a refreshing perspective to the creative journey—one that's less about staying in your lane and more about following curiosity wherever it leads. With a background in both fine art and education, over two decades of teaching experience, and years running her own jewelry business, Kim shares how she ultimately found fulfillment by embracing her ADHD-fueled love for switching mediums and diving headfirst into new materials. After leaving behind the New York hustle for the artistic charm of Chicago's North Shore, Kim launched Studio Art Beat as an inclusive space to demystify art and make creativity accessible to all ages. She now leads workshops, partners with brands like Gelli Arts, and teaches online courses—including one that brings rhinestone bedazzling to the masses. Through her story, Kim reminds us that freedom, play, and experimentation are not distractions—they're the path. Margo and Kim discuss: Growing up in an art-loving family and the creative influence of her parents and grandfather. Letting go of a long-term jewelry business and the guilt that came with that decision. How embracing her neurodivergent brain led to business clarity and personal joy. Turning her natural desire to switch mediums into a strength rather than a struggle. Building an online art education platform that's welcoming, inclusive, and non-intimidating. Why sharing her process openly (rather than gatekeeping) has helped her business grow. Collaborating with brands while maintaining authenticity and community connection. The value of playful creativity for both kids and adults—and why it's never too late to start. How she's made rhinestones cool again with her Cricut-powered online course. The beauty in allowing your creative identity to evolve—and giving others permission to do the same.
