Gurvich, Uri - The Storyteller

SKU TZ8135
Really nice quartet/quintet release, who use Jewish melodies pretty strongly and often and as a jumping off point for the compositions and improvisations, but this is not Klezmer at all. Interesting to hear them using these melodic ideas, while still keeping it 'jazz'.

"The Storyteller is another exciting release out of the New Israeli Jazz scene, this time featuring alto saxophonist Uri Gurvich. Born and raised in Israel, Uri moved to Boston in 2003. He has studied at Berklee with Joe Lovano and Herb Pomeroy and now lives in New York, where he appears regularly with his own ensembles. His work places Israeli, Yemenite, East European and North African music into a prog ressive Jazz context. Passionate and virtuosic, The Storyteller is a fabulous debut CD by this brilliant and talented composer/saxophonist."
