To composer/bassist Daphna Sadeh, Jewish Music is the cross-cultural patchwork quilt of the diaspora experience. Born in Israel, she has studied in New York and since 2002 has been based mostly in London where she leads her own ensemble and performs with a variety of fabulous musicians. Her first contribution to the Radical Jewish Culture series is a brilliant and hypnotic mix of Jazz, Western Classical, Middle Eastern/Arabic Taqsim and Jewish music from the Sephardi/Ashkenazi tradition, reflecting her eclectic life experiences. Seductive and powerful music from this sensitive Israeli globe trotter.

Daphna Sadeh is a classically trained double bassist and composer. With her fine group the Voyagers, she marries jazz to music from the Mediterranean Sephardic tradition, Arabic Taq'sim to Jewish folk styles, and traditional music to that of the Eastern European Ashkenazi. She adds complex rhythmic structures such as those of klezmer and even latter day New Orleans jazz in a heady, sophisticated brew that is, for all that complexity, an amazingly approachable type of joyous party music. Nowhere is this more evident than on her debut album for Tzadik (and her second overall), Reconciliation. The title may seem serious, but that's because in Sadeh's compositions, the music of the Jewish diaspora comes home in an intoxicating -- not too mention astonishing -- array of styles, colors, rhythms, and melodies to form something wholly unique.
The Voyagers are Ivor Goldberg on guitars, mandolin, and voice,Ronen Kozokaro on various kinds of drums and percussion, Eddie Hession on accordion, Mark Bassey on trombone, and Stewart Curtis playing recorders and clarinets with Sadeh on bass. Needless to say, there is bound to be some juxtaposition that arrests the listener and makes her listen twice on such an ambitious recording. Take "What Else Is There?": here is the sound of surf guitars, Ashkenazi, Taq'sim , and a rhythmic attack that places both klezmer and ska side by side. But this track, for all its musical sophistication, is also one of the band's more fun moments. Other selections, such as "Kadish," meld the longing lonesome sound of the Sephardim's most mournful music with that of the Yiddish ballad and modern jazz's weaving of modalities and harmonic invention. The opening "Queen of Sheeba," marries the early sounds of klezmer with the sound of the dancehall rhythms of Israel and the sense of staggered staccato drumming inherent in New Orleans jazz.
In sum, Reconciliation is magical, full of surprise and delight, and is an astonishing vision from an artist who is still finding her way through all of her of her musical passions and learning to weave them all into her own signature sound. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
Daphna Sadeh
Active Decade: '00s
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Continental Jazz, World Fusion
Born in Israel, but working most recently out of London, jazz bassist and composer Daphna Sadeh trained initially as a student of classical music at the Manhattan School of Music in New York. After her graduation, she joined Israel's East West Ensemble, performing and recording with the group for some seven years. Her fascination and involvement with Middle Eastern and Arabic music began to be a central theme in her own compositions. Co-forming the group Eve's Women, Sadeh fused jazz, klezmer, and good old rock & roll into a pretty potent musical stew. Her first album, Out of Border, was released in 2002. That same year she formed her group the Voyagers, and proceeded to broaden her mix of styles even further, bringing in even more world music influences. She released Walking the Thin Line with the Voyagers in 2007 on 33 Jazz Records, following it with Reconciliation on John Zorn's Tzadik Records in 2009.
