███▌ Release ▀ ███
██▓▀ ███
██▓ The ringing endorsement by John Zorn, describing ▓██
██▓ bassist Daphna Sadeh and the Voyager's ▓██
██▓ Reconciliation as 'brilliant and hypnotic... ▓██
██▓ seductive and powerful music" might sound just a ▓██
██▓ tad like self publicity, given that he commissioned ▓██
██▓ the music for his own label, were it not for the ▓██
██▓ fact that it is true. Sadeh has led the Voyagers on ▓██
██▓ a journey of musical discovery since 2003, and ▓██
██▓ this, their third album, is a distillation of the ▓██
██▓ musical veins that run through ancient and modern ▓██
██▓ Jewish history; Jewish music, yes, but one that ▓██
██▓ rubs shoulders and bumps and grinds with Middle ▓██
██▓ Eastern, Arabic and Turkish sounds. ▓██
██▓ ▓██
██▓ The musical Israeli Diaspora, which, like a stone ▓██
██▓ in a pond, has created ever expanding waves in the ▓██
██▓ New York jazz scene and beyond, has been a story of ▓██
██▓ note in recent years. Sadeh is perhaps the most ▓██
██▓ Israeli of the lot, at least musically, as she has ▓██
██▓ absorbed so much of the myriad cultures that make ▓██
██▓ up modern Israel. The opener, "Queen of Sheeba," ▓██
██▓ with its bolshy, melodic gaiety, thumping tuba ▓██
██▓ sound, from trombonist Mark Bassey, and Stewart ▓██
██▓ Curtis' flying clarinet, sounds like the soundtrack ▓██
██▓ to an Emir Kursturica film of a Jewish wedding in ▓██
██▓ Jerusalem. ▓██
██▓ ▓██
██▓ Reconciliation is released as part of John Zorn's ▓██
██▓ Radical Jewish Culture series, though Sadeh is on ▓██
██▓ no mission other than a musical one; she was ▓██
██▓ bassist in an Israeli Arabic band which played ▓██
██▓ Lebanese music years before she went to New York to ▓██
██▓ study classical music, and where she ventured into ▓██
██▓ avant-garde jazz. Elements of jazz permeate the ▓██
██▓ Voyagers' music, though jazz is, by Sadeh's own ▓██
██▓ admission, not her natural language. Nevertheless, ▓██
██▓ her understated hand guides the ensemble with a ▓██
██▓ lyricism which brings to mind Charlie Haden, with ▓██
██▓ her lovely arced bow playing and probing but gentle ▓██
██▓ touch. ▓██
██▓ ▓██
██▓ Accordion, clarinet, guitar and trombone waltz ▓██
██▓ around each other, and unison playing, reminiscent ▓██
██▓ of Rabih Abou Khalil's ensembles, characterizes ▓██
██▓ these tunes, particularly the fast paced "Gulliver ▓██
██▓ in Jerusalem." This track features fine statements ▓██
██▓ by Curtis, Bassey and Sadeh herself. The ▓██
██▓ musicianship throughout is first rate; solos are ▓██
██▓ short and to the point and individual instruments ▓██
██▓ are employed primarily to route the melody of each ▓██
██▓ piece. ▓██
██▓ ▓██
██▓ The music is thoughtful, as on "Avinu," but not ▓██
██▓ especially melancholic, with the exception, ▓██
██▓ perhaps, of "Klil"; Sadeh's bass is to the fore ▓██
██▓ here, where it meshes beautifully with Ivor ▓██
██▓ Goldberg's guitar and mandolin in quiet reflection. ▓██
██▓ In general though, even the slower passages of the ▓██
██▓ compositions are upbeat and the music mostly ▓██
██▓ canters along breezily. ▓██
██▓ ▓██
██▓ The title track does not specifically reference ▓██
██▓ Israel/Palestine, but rather peoples' personal ▓██
██▓ inner battles. It is surely true that if everybody ▓██
██▓ made an effort to address their own prejudices and ▓██
██▓ recognize the common thread that unites all ▓██
██▓ humanity, rejecting harmful dogma and isms in the ▓██
██▓ process, that all the walls would come tumbling ▓██
██▓ down. This is the musical well from which Sadeh and ▓██
██▓ the Voyagers draw their water. ▓██
