Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Exile is an apt title for this third Orient House album, as most of Atzmon's colleagues are indeed estranged from their homelands, and not always voluntarily. This is the moment where the Israeli reedsman lays aside his mainstream jazz interpreter mantle and takes the more challenging course of addressing the music of his roots. It's a resounding success.
The whole point of this band is its dialogue between divergent traditions, uniting Israeli and Palestinian players in the creation of a bold new fusion, enabling the OHE to float its version of jazz on the waters of the Dead Sea. The original quartet has been expanded to include Romanian violinist Marcel Mamaliga, Italian accordionist Romano Viazzani and Palestinian singer Reem Kelani. She guests on the emotive opening salvo of "Dal'ouna on the Return" and "Al-Quds", the latter invariably being the number that can provoke angry reactions at Atzmon's gigs, combining as it does a Palestinian freedom poem over a nationalistic Israeli anthem. Kelani's passionate declamations provoke a spine-tingling reaction, running parallel to Atzmon's blustery alto-saxophone statements. His detailed arrangements frame an angry run of solos, combining full-on power with light-footed dance rhythms, imbued with a sense of romantic melancholy, bluff humour and raging freedom, all without each of these qualities forsaking their naked essence. --Martin Longley
