Benjamin Boone: Caught in the Rhythm

Read "Caught in the Rhythm" reviewed by Paul Rauch


The connection between poetry and jazz music is a delicate one. It has been documented so infrequently, in performance and recordings, that one still conjures the flicker of an image of Jack Kerouac reading in some dark Greenwich Village cafe with Steve Allen or Zoot Sims, surrounded by beret-wearing, cappuccino-sipping beatniks. The work of Fresno-based saxophonist Benjamin Boone has assisted in widening that view through four albums recorded for the Origin Records label, including the fourth, Caught in the Rhythm ...

Magnet Animals: Fake Dudes

Read "Fake Dudes" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Its press release refers to this band as a “combustible beat-skronk" unit for its follow-up to the 2016 Butterfly Killer album, where guitarist Todd Clouser iterates his poetry under the semblance of a rebel using a small megaphone. It seems as if he could be on a corner somewhere in Greenwich Village, NYC., to forewarn the willing populace of dour sociopolitical issues, along with oddball humor and sober expressionism. Once again, Clouser and guitarist Eyal Maoz (who played with Lou ...

Eyal Maoz - Asaf Sirkis: The Lie Detectors Part III - Secret Unit

Read "The Lie Detectors Part III - Secret Unit" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


New York-based guitarist Eyal Maoz (John Zorn, Lou Reed) and London-based drummer Asaf Sirkis (Markus Reuter, Mark Wingfield) are childhood friends, hailing from Rehovot, Israel. Although each musician is quite busy via numerous projects on a global scale, they've managed to produce three duo albums. On Part III, the musicians seemingly operate with the force of a supercharged V8 engine. Maoz has aligned with composer, producer and saxophonist John Zorn's radical Jewish culture underpinnings, namely on Tzadik Records ...

Eyal Maoz's Edom: Hope and Destruction

Read "Hope and Destruction" reviewed by Eyal Hareuveni


The second release of New York-based Israeli guitarist Eyal Maoz alt-klezmer quartet Edom is a schizophrenic one. On one hand, Maoz faithfully follows Tzadik founder John Zorn's hybridized post-modern pastiche of klezmer and Jewish musical traditions, and musical references that are typical of the label's Radical Jewish Culture series. This is most audible in the manner that Maoz adopts the angst and skronk style of Zorn's leading guitarist in his Jewish-related projects, Marc Ribot. On the other hand, this release ...

Eyal Maoz / Asaf Sirkis: Elementary Dialogues

Read "Elementary Dialogues" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Tzadik recording artist/guitarist Eyal Maoz teams with U.K.-based drummer/leader of The Inner Noise, Asaf Sirkis. Here, the duo projects style, substance and gobs of variety on these sprightly duets for the avant-garde Swedish record label, Ayler Records. Elementary Dialogues is an album built on cunning improvisation, where the instrumentalists delve into laidback funk-rock, noise-shaping maneuvers and quirky deviations, among many other elements.

Maoz's odd-phrasings and Jimi Hendrix-like cosmic meltdowns are abetted by his fierce soloing escapades in line with Sirkis' ...

Eyal Maoz: Edom

Read "Edom" reviewed by Michael Feldman


Guitarist Eyal Maoz, known as a leader of Lemon Juice, is joined here by organist John Medeski, bassist Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz, and drummer Ben Perowsky. Edom, a new entry in the Radical Jewish Culture series on John Zorn's Tzadik Records, is influenced by both Mediterranean music and Jewish folklore, composed and played through the musical prism of Eyal Maoz.

Before we begin our journey through this album, I'd like to throw a quick glance at a little maneuver that hides ...

Eyal Maoz: Edom

Read "Edom" reviewed by Eyal Hareuveni


Israel-born, New York-based guitarist Eyal Maoz's debut release on Tzadik's Radical Jewish Culture series, Edom, is not officially part of the ever-multiplying series of tributes to the Masada songbook by Tzadik's founder and visionary, John Zorn. But in many ways, Maoz pays his respect here to the canonization of Zorn's new Jewish music, and even more so to a Zorn associate in many incarnations of Masada, guitarist Marc Ribot.

Maoz is the founder of the fusion-neo-klezmer Lemon Juice ...

Liner notes by Lukas Ligeti: Eyal Maoz and Asaf Sirkis share a long history of collaboration. Beginning at school in their hometown of Rehovot, Israel, their friendship and musical association continued through numerous bands in Israel and has persevered despite the fact that they eventually both emigrated and now live on different sides of the Atlantic, becoming mainstays of the creative music scenes of London (Sirkis) and New York (Maoz). Individually, Maoz leads a number of bands in New York, ...
