Load 'em up and play 'em. That's kind of how it's going these days, with so many interesting new recordings making their way to the show. Ohad Talmor's Ornette Coleman-inspired Back To The Land is already showing up on best-of-lists. He came across some unreleased rehearsal recordings by Ornette & Lee Konitz in Konitz's apartment after he passed awsy, and that's the music that is the basis of his new album. (Note: release date of the Talmor release is pending.) ...

by Mark Corroto
The cry was heard, “nobody said there was going to be math involved!" Sorry kids, the music heard on saxophonist Ohad Talmor's Mise En Place is in fact related to the abstract science of number, quantity, and space, and this is an upper level course on the intricate. Seven of the nine compositions were penned by the French-born, raised-in-Switzerland, Israeli saxophonist now living in Brooklyn. A student of Lee Konitz and both Hindustani and Brazilian musics, he ...

by Glenn Astarita
New York City-based tenor saxophonist, composer, arranger Ohad Talmor and associates provide all the 'jazz' news fit to hear on this superb effort, comprised of thorny time signatures, shifting detours and offbeat mini-grooves, enamored with the leader's whizzing solos and more goodness. Acclaimed due to his arrangements for the late sax great Lee Konitz and affiliations with top-shelf musicians on a global basis, Talmor's multidirectional works often proceed with a semblance of micro-suites, embedded with simmering, odd-metered passages, and fluctuating ...

by Angelo Leonardi
Maturato accanto a Lee Konitz con cui ha inciso vari dischi in tre distinti progetti (il nonet del grande sax contralto, il Konitz-Talmor String Project e la big band a loro nome), Ohad Talmor è tra gli esponenti più creativi della sua generazione. La sua statura di compositore, supportata dalla formazione classica e dall'interesse per molte espressioni musicali, caratterizza il suo impegno nelle varie formazioni che guida: il trio, il sestetto, in nonetto e la big band. ...

by Maurice Hogue
Saxophonist Ohad Talmor's new release, Long Forms, with his Newsreel sextet has just been released by Intakt Records and it's a must-listen; strong playing by some of the best musicians around, complicated but highly interesting tunes and arrangements, and a fully realized project. Another saxophonist, Rick Countryman, plies his trade in Manila in The Philippines now and his doing his best to bring the avant-garde and free jazz to that area of the world. Frequently working with Japanese powerhouse drummer, ...

by Jerry D'Souza
Tenor saxophonist Ohad Talmor was born in Israel, grew up in Switzerland, and now lives in America. Talmor started out on piano before switching to the saxophone while in the US.

In Switzerland he co-founded Zounds Collective with trumpeter Carlos Baumann to experiment with and play a wide range of music. He later went on to collaborate with Steve Swallow and Lee Konitz among others and formed several ...

by AAJ Italy Staff
Si parte da Lee Konitz, “Moon," si chiude con Wayne Marsh, “Background Music," in mezzo una poco frequentata parentesi ornettiana, “New York," per il resto Ohad Talmor. Coordinate che forniscono più che un indizio su ciò che si ascolterà in Newsreel, ultima fatica discografica dell'emergente sassofonista, compositore, arrangiatore di origine israeliana, opportunamente pubblicata dalla Auand Records di Marco Valente. Album che racchiude la raffinatezza esecutiva, l'eleganza armonica, la cura per gli arrangiamenti di cui Konitz e Marsh sono stati tra ...
