Release Notes:
http://www.itamarziegler.com
Living in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, a block away from the east
river, I go down to the water front from time to time. It's as
close as one gets to nature around here. It's nothing "pretty".
But I like it.
One afternoon I went down with my camera and was taking some
pictures. Sitting next to me drinking beer and listening to a
rock&roll radio station was a man in his 50's who used to hang out
on the water front often. He started talking to me, telling me all
about how he used to take pictures himself back in the day. At one
point he said in his thick Brooklyn accent: "Yea, I used to take
pictures of the birds, the sky, the trees...all that shit".
I was pleased. I had a name for my next album:
"The birds, the sky, the trees...all that shit".
All I needed now was the music.
So, I started to record in my living room studio, in which I
recorded my first album in 2003 (self titled). I played all of the
instruments most of
the time. My friends, Tamir Muskat and Rafi Malkiel, came in and
played on "The Score". Tamir on drums and Rafi on Trombone. My
friend, Yula Beeri, came in to sing on "The Well" with me. The
album consists of songs and instrumentals. I also covered two
songs: One was written and given to me as a gift by my dear friend
Nani. (I named Nani's song "Nani's song" on the record). The other
cover is an Israeli song called "Tuki Yosi". The words were
written by the great Avraham Halfi, and it was composed by Miki
Gavrielov. Although I didn't mention this in the cd, I want to
dedicate my version of "Tuki Yosi" to Tomer Yosef whom together we
loved to love this song.
I don't like to talk about the music anymore because I don't know
how to do that. So buy the damn thing and listen for your selves.
Thank you brother Yoni for doing the layout, thank you brother
Yuval for help with everything.
I dedicated the album to my one Nessa because she is my one Nessa.
