On up-tempo numbers, Michael's hands fly along and retain Silver's soulful precision. When I hear him play, I'm taken back to the nights I first ...

This time, Shai is reviving the ghost of a jazz musician murdered by Nazis in an extermination camp. On September 28, Shai performed a tribute to Fritz Weiss. Weiss was a bandleader and composer born on the aforementioned date in 1919 in the ...
