“When Malibu guitar virtuoso Vlad (Jacks Last Dollar) later this summer releases his new CD, “Part I” he expects the Blues-themed album to bring him full circle to his Ukrainian roots... sounding like a new age Earl Scruggs with hints of Bela Fleck.”

“Since 2000 Vlad (Jacks Last Dollar) has resided in California and it's there that the majority of his debut project was created. It's called Vladosphere. The album exhibits an intriguing blend of flavours, from an "Old World charm" to a technical adeptness that is second to none. As such, this is a unique recording and one that is certain to breathe life-giving-freshness into your musical day …just as its title suggests.”

“Reported this week from New York, NY, Vlad's (Jacks Last Dollar) first single from his Vladosphere CD, ‘Little Star’, made its debut at #32 on the New Music Weekly Charts. It climbed in above other debut songs by such artists as Amy Grant, John Mayer and Ryan Cabbera. According to Masika Swain, associate editor at New Music Weekly Magazine: ‘Vlad has made quite an impact with 'Little Star.' A lot of people are talking about it and listening to it.’”

““Little Star” Vlad’s musicianship shines through on every note. “Close To The Edge” is a perfect example of Vlad's guitar virtuosity that impresses the toughest critic.”
