David Buchbinder: Odessa / Havana

Read "Odessa / Havana" reviewed by David Miller


How is it possible to create a fusion between Jewish and Cuban music? The two cultures seem to be at odds with each other--the laid back, relaxed syncopation of the Latin tradition and the spiritual urgency of the Jewish faith and its music.

David Buchbinder: Odessa/Havana

Read "Odessa/Havana" reviewed by Elliott Simon

David Buchbinder: Shurum Burum Jazz Circus

Read "Shurum Burum Jazz Circus" reviewed by Ken Kase


David Buchbinder occupies a curious place among modern-day jazz composers. A fine trumpeter with firm roots in jazz, he has used the idiom to explore an eclectic mix of musical styles. The circus tradition, with its emphasis on borrowing from many world cultures, is a natural forum for such experimentation. The selections on Shurum Burum Jazz ...
