Utah played acoustic and State Duma deputy Oleg Sakmarov

30th March Utah unveiled their new acoustic program "B-2". For the first time, the band was legendary flutist Oleg Sakmarov (ex "aquarium", "Yu-Piter", "Sac-Mar"). And some songs Utah benefited Sakmarov appearance significantly. "Let us celebrate today is the last concert in March." - Utah offered a very small audience, which came to an acoustic concert. The so-called general rather unplugged'y the musicians themselves rather than the general public. Musicians prefer to reveal their songs from the warm acoustic sound. Utah played a new song on the text of the State Duma deputy Yevgeny Roizman, who was in the room, by the way. Successful song "I love you", a little ironic. The solo part in the program leads Utah Oleg Sakmarov flute and saxophone, bass without harmonizing role - the acoustic guitar Slava Teplyakov and rhythm - the drums Oleg Shumtsova. Total sound - very juicy with a rich palette of great shame in the bass. We do not know why Utah has decided to bass lines, you can assume that we wanted to make the songs polirichnee. The occurrence of Utah, never appear in concert in a dress emphasizes the problem. Song sounds more lyrical than the normal arrangement. Sakmarov was strongly reminiscent of Ian Anderson of "Jethro Tull", is not so often used to increase the flute. Some of the songs are the big winners, such as "True Love" and "Girl." However, there are losses. For example, "Love" is not sufficiently consulted, and somehow, I'm sorry, phony, disingenuous. Let me explain. In fact, Utah is often lacking charisma to some of their songs bring to a perfect understanding with the audience. Often simply do not believe in lyrical feelings heroine songs. If Utah childlike singing happy songs, and it is extremely organic. Utah is naive. But here in the song - a really serious feelings and stumbles up the phone not rich tone coloring votes or unwillingness to "play the story." Utah only sings, and with his modest vocal abilities of this is not enough to display a wealth of experience and emotions of the female soul. No tones and implications. Everything smooth and flat as a sheet of paper. And blows a huge gap between the inner world of the school, the girl from Utah and the artistic map of the world that offers the listener. Childish naivety - plays all the colors of the rainbow. But the experience and the passion - to fade away, like old cucumber. Sakmarov partially offset his one-dimensional game of the songs, frowned some very difficult times, Utah and to "play" or something shadow sing image. And it sounds all "acoustic" in which you can not hide a strong rhythm section. Therefore, the impression of acoustic dual program. That was a plus for Utah in the regular program, plus it was still fat. And vice versa. As well, very often the case in unplugged'e. Vadim Ponomarev, NEWSmusic.ru
