  | JONATHAN GEFFEN / DANNY LITANI ~ IT`S ALL FOR NOW, FOR NOW IT`S ALL
PHONOKOL 4158 (Barcode: 7296134415824) ~ ISRAEL ~ Progressive Rock
Recorded: 1974 Released: 2001
Following the 1973 Yom Kippur war Israel was swept by a tidal wave of public anti-government protest, which eventually led to radical changes both in Israeli society and the state´s government. The protest was often spearheaded by Israeli intellectuals, including writers, poets and musicians. During that period writer / poet / satirist Jonathan GeffenFind albums by this artist and singer / composer Danny LitaniFind albums by this artist combined forces and presented a live show, which included music, sketches, standup comedy and a lot of political satire, which proved to be immensely successful with the Israeli public. This album, originally a double LP, presents a live recording of the show, with the leader supported by excellent musicians and friends, including Matti CaspiFind albums by this artist, Shalom HanochFind albums by this artist and Ariel ZilberFind albums by this artist. Litani wrote most of the original music in the show except a few songs by Bob DylanFind albums by this artist, with lyrics translated into Hebrew by Geffen, who wrote also all the original lyrics and spoken texts. This is a great document of the time and a great fun, with most of the satire being completely relevant today, 35 years later.

Only album by the legendary group TamouzFind albums by this artist. Although basically a forcefull rock group, they were strongly influenced by Prog and psychedelics. This group included two of the most famous Israeli rockers and great composers: Shalom HanochFind albums by this artist and Ariel ZilberFind albums by this artist. Full of energy and dynamics, this is one of the best Israeli rock albums of all times. Hebrew vocals. The new edition includes a superb live concert recording from 1975 where the group stretches the album songs with long instrumental improvisations. A piece of history!
