▓█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █▓
█ █▓░█ alony┤s music is a world of atmosphere and secret, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ spinning around along the edges of jazz, swelling █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ with string quartet and organ sounds, touched by rock █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ and electronic influences. on their new album █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ "unarmed and dazed" alony enter new realms of █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ expression. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ with a voice as naked as the musical forms are █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ complex, israeli singer and composer efrat alony █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ delivers her very personal lyrics along with two █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ individual cover versions of songs by the beatles and █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ tom waits. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the result is a very individual form of jazz songs - █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ expressionistic, full of urgency and compositional █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ strength. "as sad as her eyes are her songs", one █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ critic wrote. "her disarmingly clear sound is █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ contrasted by refined arrangements. "a real ear █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ opener." █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ efrat alony studied composition, arranging, jazz █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ singing and classical singing in israel as well as █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the united states and germany and took additional █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ lessons from the likes of joe lovano, bob brookmeyer █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ and steve gray. efrat was a featured soloist with █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ german sunday night orchestra and worked as a musical █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ director and vocal coach for various theatre █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ productions. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ when studying at berklee college of music in boston, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ she met german pianist and composer mark reinke, a █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ former student of aki takase and richie beirach. the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ two individualists decided to show the jazz police a █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ thing or two. even on the efrat alony quartetÆs █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ album, "merry go round", they translated the jazz █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ canon into their own body language, radiating warmth, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ dedication and the courage to follow new paths. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ it was the efficient use of the sources of sound, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ harmony and rhythm and the monolithic character of █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the voice that separated "unravelling", their second █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ album, from the masses of vocal jazz albums. "we █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ never made a conscious decision for sparseness," █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ claims alony. "at a time when we are constantly █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ stimulated from a thousand different directions, we █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ simply wanted an affirmation of form. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ each piece is based on a clear idea. you must be █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ disciplined to be able to remain concentrated on the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ essential, but thatÆs what counts." █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ recently efrat alony and mark reinke have been joined █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ by drummer christian thomΘ, who also contributes some █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ refined electronics. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ in this set-up alony offer the unique pleasure of █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ scouting new terrain. they give their listeners █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ plenty of space to expand their songs with their own █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ associations. in the end, art is born in the ear of █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the listener. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ born in haifa, israel, singer efrat alony studied █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ composition, arranging, jazz singing and classical █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ singing in her home country as well as the united █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ states and germany and took additional lessons from █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the likes of joe lovano, bob brookmeyer and steve █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ gray. efrat was a featured soloist with german sunday █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ night orchestra and worked as a musical director and █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ vocal coach for various theatre productions. when █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ studying at berklee college of music in boston, she █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ met german pianist mark reinke, a former student of █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ pianists aki takase and richie beirach. efrat and █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ mark soon made up a team heading for new paths in █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ vocal jazz. "we simply wanted an affirmation of █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ form", says reinke, "and concentrated on the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ essential." the result is a very individual form of █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ jazz songs -- expressionistic, full of urgency and █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ compositional strength. "as sad as her eyes are her █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ songs", one critic wrote. "her disarmingly clear █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ sound is contrasted by refined arrangements. a real █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ ear opener." █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ efrat alony's monolithic, independent alto voice has █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ sometimes been compared to those of joni mitchell, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ edie brickell or susi hyldgaard. it was described by █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the press as "unusual", "dedicated", "conveying █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ depth", "warm, powerful and marvellously █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ melancholic". berlin daily morgenpost reads: "the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ lightness with which her full and warm voice floats █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ through the octaves, makes one forget how difficult █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ some of the lines are. the cello is her favorite █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ instrument: 'its sound is beautiful, round, dark, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ massive and full of depths' -- descriptions that █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ match alony's style as well." █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ an admirer of joni mitchell and sidsel endresen, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ efrat alony enters new realms of expression on her █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ third album "unarmed and dazed". with a voice as █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ naked as the musical forms are complex, she delivers █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ her very personal lyrics and melodies along with two █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ individual cover versions of songs by the beatles and █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ tom waits. sometimes swelling with string quartet and █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ organ sounds, sometimes touched by rock and █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ electronic influences, efrat's music is like a planet █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ of its own -- full of atmosphere and secret and █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ spinning around along the edges of jazz. █░▓█ █
