Jazz
Amos Hoffman - oud, guitar
Avishai Cohen - bass- acoustic, vocals
Ilan Katchka - percussion
Ilan Salem - alto flute
Oud virtuoso Amos Hoffman's new release Evolution is an expressive and breathtaking compilation of original music. Combining Middle Eastern inspired melodies played by oud and flute, and African rhythms played by contrabass and percussion, Hoffman finds common ground and blends into the mix a jazz sensibility that combines the different styles of music, while still keeping the essence of each.
Hoffman began playing guitar as a young child, and oud a few years later. He attended the prestigious Rubin Academy of Music in Jerusalem, where he met Avishai Cohen, and began a friendship that also produced many musical projects, including Hoffman's first solo release, The Dreamer and Cohen's Adama, Devotion, Colors and Continuo. After years of playing jazz in New York, Hoffman returned to Israel to raise a family and began to compose for the oud.
With a lineup that includes Cohen on contrabass, and two of Israel's most prominent musicians - ethnic percussionist Ilan Katchka and flautist Ilan Salem, Hoffman explores new musical territory with the oud, and showcases the instrument in a unique way.
Amos Hoffman is one of the most accomplished guitar players on the small Israeli jazz scene, and has also played the oud since he was eight. Brief snippets of his oud playing have previously been heard on the recordings of Israeli bass player Avishai Cohen and the 3 Cohens.
Hoffman began to study the oud while living in New York alongside Lebanese teacher Bassam Saba, an associate of Palestinian player Simon Shaeen. Na'ama, named after Hoffman's daughter, is his second solo release after The Dreamer (Fresh Sound, 1999), and is built on original compositions, most of them referencing traditional Arabic maqams or scales. |
