With groups like Sex Mob, Millennial Territory Orchestra and
Diaspora Soul, Steven Bernstein is energizing the downtown
scene with a passionate and indefatigable creativity. His
brilliance continues with Diaspora Suite, the fourth
installment in his Diaspora series for Tzadik and perhaps the
best! Twelve original compositions exploring the Jewish
tradition are brilliantly performed by a nonet of California
musicians including Ben Goldberg, Peter Apfelbaum and several
key players from his legendary band the Hieroglyphics.
Channeling Miles Davis, Gil Evans and the Sephardic traditions
of Darkness and Light, this is fabulous new Jewish music by
one of the most talented and charismatic figures in the
downtown scene.
