TSAHAR / KAPLAN / SARID ~ CRIES OF DISILLUSION EARSAY 019 (Barcode: 7293627001922) ~ ISRAEL ~ Jazz Recorded: 1999Released: 2001 Assif TsaharFind albums by this artist (tenor sax and bass clarinet), Ori KaplanFind albums by this artist (alto sax) and Daniel SaridFind albums by this artist (piano) are typical representatives of the contemporary Israeli Jazz scene. They all left Israeli for the US in the late 1980’s to study and then perform and gain experience on the vibrant New York scene. Upon their return to Israel a decade later, they were already seasoned musicians. They integrated into the local scene, formed ensembles and started to record albums. This album, recorded 1999, puts them together in one ensemble for the first time. Each of them contributes compositions (all the music is original) and of course plays on the album, which was recorded in a quintet setting with Israeli bass player Oded GoldshmidtFind albums by this artist and US drummer Bob MayerFind albums by this artist. The music is great modern jazz, with some free elements, but mostly “conventional” enough to be accessible to most modern jazz listeners. Both the compositions and the performances are top notch and this is a valuable document of the local Israeli Jazz scene.
