Aryeh Kobrinsky
Having toured Europe, North Africa, Canada and the United States Aryeh has performed with a wide variety of artists including Tyshawn Sorey, Hal Crook, Andrew D’Angelo, Matt Wilson, Bob Moses and Dominique Eade. Currently he can often be heard with with John McNeil’s Hush Point, The New Old Timers, Bob Moses, Perfect Friend and last but not least, his own quintet Brinsk.
In 2015, Aryeh switched to tuning his bass in fifths, an octave below cello: C - G - D - A. The conversion to the new tuning was a major undertaking as he essentially had to unlearn and relearn the entire instrument. His solo project “Solo Shmolo” has been a gradual documentation of the process. Aryeh is currently finishing up his solo bass record which will be released in September 2018.

Yates leads her quintet along an avenue whose bedrock is ...

Laureato al New England Conservatory è stato molto attratto dal grande innovatore russo e da altri compositori del Novecento come Dmitrij Shostakovich e Bela Bartok. La musica di questo disco ne risente ma il suo taglio espressivo è un jazz contemporaneo dove libera improvvisazione e astratto camerismo convivono con le radiose melodie folk che impregnano ...

by Budd Kopman
If only from the title, A Hamster Speaks and the anime/manga cover art, where a very battered and partially mechanically enhanced hamster is saving his world from an evil viper, you know that you are in for a trip--and quite a wonderful trip it is. Upright bassist and composer Aryeh Kobrinsky formed Brinsk to incarnate his vision (or, if you will, hallucination) of hamsters singing classical operatic arias over metal-rock based rhythms. However, the band is acoustic ...
