Yitzhak Yedid p
Ora Boasson Horev b
Mikhail Maroun oud
An authentic expression of new music that incorporates a wide spectrum of contemporary and ancient styles, this five-movement work features a unique amalgam of Jewish musical styles and prayers with Arabic, western, and jazz music.
Following "Myth Of The Cave" (BTL 028, 2003), "Passions And Prayers" (BTLCHR 71207, 2005) and "Reflections upon Six Images" (BTLCHR 71215, 2006), the "Oud Bass Piano Trio" is already on the fourth CD of Yitzhak Yedid's in "Between the Lines".
Born as the son of Syrian-Jewish immigrants in Jerusalem in 1971, it seemed as if the pianist wanted to pursue a career in the USA after studies there and recordings with Paul Bley, among others. But to the surprise of all, Yitzhak returned to Jerusalem despite the beginning a very promising career in America. "I simply get my most important inspirations here", he said, and means the feeling of life in a city that is more "between the lines" than any other in this world. He works at the university there, and the people are there, with whom is on the same wavelength in a music sense.
Among others, this includes the bassist Ora Boasson Horev, who plays both in very important classical music ensembles as in jazz ones (e.g., "ihre Frau steht"). Classical European music and traditional Arabic music meet in Jerusalem; this Arabic music is really to be understood as classical music in its own right and not as "world music". The israelic Arab Mikhail Maroun is one of the best oud musicians in the Middle East by far and also a great expert in this music tradition. But not only the members of this trio are remarkable, but above all the compositions and their performance. "Oud Bass Piano Trio" is a work, which as composed as a suite in five movements. But contrary to purely classical works, the compositions provide the musicians with leeway for improvising. Although they are based on given structures, they challenge the musicians to give free expression to the momentary. As a result, classical composition technique meets Klezmer, Arabic folklore meets avant-garde jazz...
The music reminds you of a film soundtrack, a radio play without words - in one work and with closed eyes, the music opens our imagination to new worlds of experience.
The oud, a Middle Eastern lute, has never been a prominent instrument in jazz; in fact, it is safe to say that there are quite a few jazz musicians who have never heard of the oud and have no idea what it sounds like. But the oud is ultra-famous in traditional Arabic, Middle Eastern, and North African music, and it works pleasingly well as an avant-garde jazz instrument on Israeli pianist Yitzhak Yedid's Suite in Five Movements. Recorded in Tel Aviv, Israel, in 2006, this release finds Yedid forming a cohesive acoustic trio with oud player Mikhail Maroun and bassist Ora Boasson Horev -- and Yedid doesn't treat Maroun like a mere afterthought. Not at all. In fact, Yedid features Maroun extensively on this 72-minute CD, which is devoted to a five-movement suite that combines avant-garde jazz with Middle Eastern music and incorporates Euro-classical elements as well. The performances are not radically avant-garde, but they are mildly avant-garde -- and although Yedid has some Cecil Taylor-ish moments as a pianist, Suite in Five Movements is far from an exercise in atonal chaos. An inside/outside approach prevails that, for all its abstraction, is still decidedly musical. Suite in Five Movements is not an easy recording to absorb on the first listen, but the more one listens to Yedid, Maroun, and Horev's performances, the more he/she appreciates all of the intriguing twists and turns that go into them. Thoughtfulness and a healthy sense of adventure are both major assets on this excellent disc. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide |
