Release Notes:
Israeli pianist Yitzhak Yedid is the real McCoy, a serious jazz
pianist and an individual stylist, but more than that he is an
artist with flair, giving his tunes names such as the cleverly
titled "Inner Outcry" or the beautiful Hebrew words "Le'emor" and
"Kidushin" (loosely translated as "To say" and "Betrothal"). As
producer, he respects no bounds: there is a noir-ish quality to
the CD leaflet that mirrors the recording, and color coordinates
with the grey shades of the actual compact disc, while the four
photos (three of the trio) set a bleak yet artsy tone. The musical
results live up to expectations, as Yedid dazzles with an
expansive style that incorporates a deeply thoughtful demeanor. On
the turtle-like yet short "Told, Not to be Believed," Yedid
explores tonal extremes. "The Muse" lets Vlad Nedelin loose on his
drums, sparring to the end with the pianist, with a sound that
focuses on the low notes. The intense "Inner Outcry" quickly
entertains a march-like, syncopated, percussive quality in concert
with the bass and drums, gradually building tension with flurries
of notes from Yedid's right hand, and powerful bursts from his
left. It is all disciplined, even at its wildest. The following
"The Na?ve" is back to introspection, with short, sharp,
punctuated interludes and a passionate solo from Ora Boasson's
acoustic bass, rivaling her fine contribution on the opening
"Le'emor." The album closes with the lovingly lyrical "Epilogue,"
as the bassist waxes sonorously, complementing Yedid's classically
trained instincts. The pianist carefully sculpts each piece with a
precision that belies its complexity. Call it layered minimalism
with substance, or better, the unique explorations of a sensitive,
talented artist who has discovered a distinctive niche that melds
formal technique and improvisational fortitude with its own dark
vision: a powerful potion.
