Frank London: The Jew with the Horn
by Eyal Hareuveni
Frank London is one of the most interesting and colorful figures in the current revival of Jewish music--mistakenly identified only as Klezmer music--of the last two decades. London seeks consciously and constantly to expand the terminology and vocabulary of Jewish music with groups including Hasidic New Wave, Shekinah Big Band and Klezmer Brass All-Stars. The Klezmatics ...
Solveig Slettahjell: Domestic Songs
by Eyal Hareuveni
The fifth solo release by Norwegian vocalist Solveig Slettahjell finds her in a domestic environment. This intimate album was indeed recorded at Slettahjell's home, and most of the songs feature Slettahjell's vocals with the beautiful sounding new Steinway piano that she recently purchased after winning the Norwegian Kongsberg Jazzfestival's Vital-Pris, with some spare ensemble arrangements.

Marsh Dondurma: Te'amim Hadashim (New Tastes)
by Eyal Hareuveni
Israeli Marsh Dondurma is a kind of New Orleans-ean/Balkan/fifteen-player jubilant marching band named after a favorite Turkish ice-cream. The combo adds Klezmer, Turkish and other Middle-Eastern and even Brazilian batucada-based spices to this percolating stew, all baked through an Ellingtonian framework. A much more sober version of Goran Bregovi”s Music for Weddings and Funerals (2002) or ...

Bruce Eisenbeil Sextet: Inner Constellation, Volume One
by Eyal Hareuveni
On Inner Constellation, his fifth release as a leader, New York-based guitarist and composer Bruce Eisenbeil attempts to link the musical worlds of John Coltrane, Cecil Taylor and Anthony Braxton with the vocabulary of contemporary classical composers such as Elliot Carter, Iannis Xenakis, György Ligeti and Karlheinz Stockhausen. Over two years, Eisenbeil composed “Inner Constellation," a ...
Mostly Other People Do the Killing: Shamokin!!!
by Eyal Hareuveni
New York-based quartet Mostly Other People Do the Killing sounds like an updated incarnation of Steve Bernstein's Sex Mob, more in spirit than in sound. Both quartets defy the sterile definition of jazz by neo-cons and like to play their own version of jazz--dirty, muddy and fast, and meant for the body rather than the brain. ...
Hakon Kornstad: Single Engine
by Eyal Hareuveni
Norwegian saxophonist Håkon Kornstad has been one of the central figures on the new Norwegian scene that aspires to break new vistas beyond the almost codified ECM representation of the Nordic scene. Kornstad has shown, over the last decade, a wide scope of expression and mood, with his post bop Kornstad Trio [Space Available (Jazzland, 2002)], ...
Alex Kontorovich: Deep Minor
by Eyal Hareuveni
Twenty-six year-old, Russia-born/New York-based clarinetist/saxophonist Alex Kontorovich is a phenomenon. He's a martial arts black belt, math professor at Brown University, “Bird-head" by his own definition, but one that is also well versed with John Coltrane's legacy. He's also a key member of Klezmer and Ska bands including Frank London's Klezmer Brass All-Stars, The Klez Dispensers, ...
