About the Album

The title of “Birds of Agamon Hula,” the album’s first single, refers to a natural sanctuary for birds in Israel, a place where the birds stop on their migration between Europe and Africa. Thousands of them stay at Agamon during the winter, while others nest there during the spring and summer. When there, the sounds from the birds are like none other. The piece is a homage to the natural beauty of bird calls. It also explores how musical ideas migrate and are shared across our globe. For example, there is a call out to the music of Cachao throughout the piece, his lilting bass, and melodic ideas.,”
