AMOS HOFFMAN: Evolution RazDaz, 2008 WORLD/JAZZ - Middle Eastern/North African music as viewed from the fertile New York/Israeli jazz scene. Hoffman plays oud & guitar, and is joined by popular bassist Avishai Cohen. Good grooves matched by compelling serious moments. All good. Fo’s Picks: 1, 4, 5, 6, 8 1. 4:43 – bazaar atmosphere, loosens up, switches to rolling uptempo 2. 5:26 – slow moaning tune with flute, speeds up, then spins; strong bass 3. 4:30 – bright folksy sound; floating flute gets going over steady groove 4. 5:44 – serious stepping-stone chords alternate with breezy flow, jazz guitar 5. 3:12 – elaborate solo oud improvisation; introspective and free-flowing 6. 3:01 – attractive, catchy midtempo melody, Hebrew vocal by Cohen 7. 3:42 – like a medley: twisty oud melody against bowed bass, then perc 8. 6:15 – traditional sound & camel-walk rhythm; very cool groove in 2nd half 9. 3:46 – thoughtful ballad with piano; feels a little forced 10. 5:42 – relaxed, flowing melody picks up mystery groove; flute is all over it [ Fo ] 21-Oct-08 | ||
