Ehud Asherie's Arbors Records debut is the 21st volume in the critically acclaimed Arbors Piano Series!
A fine young pianist from Israel, Asherie now lives in New York--much to the delight of his regular audiences in the Big Apple. A mature artistic sensibility allows his unique musical voice to shine brilliantly.
Here, he performs on solo piano, showcasing his harmonic sensitivity and his beautiful touch on 13 selections.
"Ehud bounces off the traditions like an exuberant boy on a trampoline, never losing his balance. Although you will hear, now and again, a Tatum flourish, some James P. Johnson chords, a fine Willie "the Lion" Smith filigree, that Cliff Jackson bass pattern, a Ralph Sutton 'Charge!' or a Dave McKenna rumbling bass, the result, never synthetic, is all Ehud.,,,, Here's to Ehud Asherie, a young man with a mature artist's sensibility! His artistic world is spacious, comfortable, ever-expanding. He's having fun at the piano and he shares his pleasures with us." Michael Steinman, jazz writer and blogger.
Ehud Asherie is one of the rare chameleo-like pianists who is versatile enough to play a wide range of jazz styles with authority. The young Israel native (who grew up in the U.S.) doesn't merely copy the playing styles of famous pianists but takes to their approaches and compositions in his own way. On his earlier CDs he mixed bop, swing and standards with an occasional taste of stride, but for these solo piano sessions he focuses more on stride and standards, all with a New York theme. Asherie's stride skills are showcased in the interpretation of James P. Johnson's lively "Harlem Strut" and Duke Ellington's "Drop Me Off in Harlem," adding embellishments to keep them fresh. He explores themes from musicals and film, including the rarely heard "Lovers in New York" (a Henry Mancini gem) recast as an easygoing bossa nova and Leonard Bernstein's "Lonely Town," the latter played with the subtleness similar to Dick Hyman. Anyone expecting a typical rendition of "52nd Street Theme" will be in for a shock, as Asherie takes his time getting around to playing the familiar riff, as he first takes the listener on a musical journey through an intricate interwoven blend of stride, swing and bop. The pianist's imaginative reworking of the bass line to the oft-played "Take the A Train" is matched by the inventiveness of his right hand. Welcome to New York demonstrates that Ehud Asherie has truly arrived on the jazz scene. ~ Ken Dryden, Rovi |
