JSngry Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Never heard of Yavnai before, but a friend's generosity in hipping me to some Garzone included this very nice release. Sorta "modern conservative/progressive", ie - the influences are late-60s Miles, early ECM, a dash of M-Base (but accoustic), the occasional "ethnic" touch, etc. As such, there's nothing here that screams out FUTURE OF JAZZ or anything, but the playing is passionate and thoughtful. And Garzone is a bitchandahalf whenever he plays. Also aboard are Dino Govoni & Avishai Cohen, two names I already knew, and some other cats I've never heard of. No slouches either way. I'd think that some of the community would enjoy this release quite a bit, actually, whereas other might find it either too far out or far too timid. Such are the perils of the in-between. Oh well. As Myron Cohen said, "Everybody's gotta be somewhere."

JSngry Posted March 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Up. Are there no New Englanders, at least, familiar w/Yavani? This is some good stuff. It needs to be heard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wheel Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Never heard of the guy, but the label is an interesting one. I like the Joe Beck record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
