Gerard Edery Ensemble ‘Linda Amiga’ Sefarad Records, 2004 This disc is essentially Edery with his guitar, plus occasional harmony vocals (Cassandra Hoffman) and percussion (Rex Benincasa). Divided into 2 sections: first up are 6 love songs of the Sephardim, a Jewish Diaspora group which settled in Spain and Portugal. These are sung very seriously, as befits Edery’s voice. The second half is songs of Renaissance (16th Century) Spain. Here the voices are a little lighter, though Edery is pretty heavy throughout. Faves: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12 (Dr D 10-04) (All track titles and times on back of case—lyrics in booklet) 1 Slow/med, guit starts then Edery(mournful),joined 2/3 through by CH harmony, speeds up, ends 5:08 2 Slow, guit opens, then all solo lullaby. Ends 3:38 after slow fade 3 Fast, 30 sec guit, Edery sings, then CH gets a verse; back to GE, he’s joined 1:39 by CH; frame drum present throughout. Ends 2:15 4 Slow/med, guit starts, then solo Edery, no drum or harmony. Ends 3:29 5 Med/slow, guit intro, then alternating verses GE and CH, almost pleasant mood, ends 2:53 6 Slow/med, guit opens 40 sec, multi-tracked solo voice and guitar of Edery , ends 3:40 after long fade 7 Med/slow, 15 sec guit intro then duet vox, ends 2:00 8 Slow, 30 sec guit intro, then GE, joined at 4:00 by CH.
