Daniel Ori: Emuna

Read "Emuna" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Daniel Ori è alla sua seconda prova da leader. Passato dall'etichetta Art of Life alla Bluejazz e con una formazione (in cui spicca la stella Mark Turner) rinnovata per intero rispetto al disco precedente, il contrabbassista israeliano di stanza a New York ha registrato questo Emuna, un lavoro maturo e stilisticamente coeso. Le nove tracce che lo compongono sono, prima di tutto, scorrevoli ed emotivamente coinvolgenti. Ma dietro alla scorrevolezza evidente si cela un'estrema raffinatezza compositiva. Nella musica di Ori ...

Daniel Ori: Emuna

Read "Emuna" reviewed by Edward Blanco


Since moving to New York in 2008, Israeli-born bassist Daniel Ori has labored hard to forge for himself a reputation as one of today's up-and-coming jazz musicians. While certainly an excellent bassist, this winner of the 2009 ASCAP Jazz Composers Award is slowly cementing a reputation as a dynamic composer. His debut as a leader, So It Goes (Art of Life Records, 2010), is a testament to his skills as a writer, which he also confirms in another bold statement, ...

Daniel Ori: So It Goes

Read "So It Goes" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey


There exists a triple point where adult contemporary, modern, and acoustic improvisatory jazz meet and exist together in an equilibrium where none of the three schools dominate the other two. While real, this creative point remains oddly elusive. Enter Israeli bassist Daniel Ori, whose second recording, So It Goes edges ever closer to the desirable goal of modern jazz parity--the perfect meeting of style and substance. Bassist/composer Daniel Ori is successfully divining his way to this constantly moving creative point. ...

Daniel Ori: So It Goes

Read "So It Goes" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza


Fate deals its own cards. The first instrument of choice for bassist Daniel Ori was the piano which he began playing at his grandmother's house. When he was 14, Ori noticed his brother's electric bass and picked it up. From then on he began his musical journey getting involved with jazz which he began studying in Israel. He later continued his studies at the Berklee College of Music.

Ori recorded his first album, Money (Fourward Quartet, 2005), in Israel with ...

Daniel Ori: So It Goes

Read "So It Goes" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Il percorso del contrabbassista israeliano Daniel Ori è simile a quello di molti suoi conterranei. Passione per la musica favorita da un ambiente famigliare quasi sempre dedito ad attività artistiche, folgorazione per il jazz, studi per lo più accademici e poi il grande balzo oltreoceano a contatto con le nuove realtà della musica improvvisata ma anche desiderosi di toccare con mano, di respirare i luoghi che hanno fatto la storia della musica afroamericana. Dopo una serie di concerti e un ...
