Ravish Momin’s Trio Tarana – Climbing the Banyan Tree
Great world-influenced improvised music, this set straddles Downtown jazz, Eastern & Middle Eastern folk and modern classical for a thoroughly engaging sound. Momin has a powerful drumming style which drives Hwang’s jagged violin and Blumenkranz switches off between bass and oud (which gives the group a funkier or folkier vibe respectively). Don’t pass this one up, all tracks are superb!
*1. Powerful groove led by drums
**2. Funkier rhythm with strong violin
*3. Airy world melody with oud
**4. Klezmery groove with great solos
**5. Stuttering rhythm section backs great violin
*6. Pretty oud solo
**7. Excellent percussion with cool vocalizations
*8. Bouncy folky rhythm
9. Slow, searching ballad
