Release Notes:
Mikhail Maroun, oud | Ora Boasson Horev, double bass | Yitzhak
Yedid, piano.
Born as the son of Syrian-Jewish immigrants in Jerusalem in 1971,
it seemed as if the pianist wanted to pursue a career in the USA
after studies there and recordings with Paul Bley, among others.
But to the surprise of all, Yitzhak returned to Jerusalem despite
the beginning a very promising career in America. ôI simply get
my most important inspirations here,ö he said, and means the
feeling of life in a city that is more ôbetween the linesö than
any other in this world. He works at the university there, and the
people are there, with whom is on the same wavelength in a music
sense.
Among others, this includes the bassist Ora Boasson Horev, who
plays both in very important classical music ensembles as in jazz
ones (e.g., ôihre Frau stehtö). Classical European music and
traditional Arabic music meet in Jerusalem; this Arabic music is
really to be understood as classical music in its own right and
not as ôworld musicö. The Palestinian Mikhail Maroun is one of the
best oud musicians in the Middle East by far and also a great
expert in this music tradition. But not only the
members of this trio are remarkable, but above all the
compositions and their performance. ôOud Bass Piano Trioö is a
work, which as composed as a suite in five movements. But contrary
to purely classical works, the compositions provide the musicians
with leeway for improvising.
Although they are based on given structures, they challenge the
musicians to give free expression to the momentary. As a result,
classical composition technique meets Klezmer, Arabic folklore
meets avant- garde jazz... The music reminds you of a film
soundtrack, a radio play without words - in one work and with
closed eyes, the music opens our imagination to new worlds of
experience.
