Paul Shapiro's Ribs and Brisket Revue: Essen

Read "Essen" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Essen. Come il titolo di una canzone-menù yiddish sulle Catskills Mountains. Ma anche Essen come “mangiare" in tedesco. “Dimmi cosa mangi e ti dirò chi sei", disse nel 1825 Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, e questa sua famosa frase spicca sul retro della copertina dell'album. Il cibo come espressione di una cultura. Il cibo come primo punto di ...

Paul Shapiro: It's in the Twilight

Read "It's in the Twilight" reviewed by Sean Patrick Fitzell


Day's slide into night, the work week's conclusion, and prayers of the Jewish Shabbat inspired saxophonist Paul Shapiro's compositions and arrangements for It's in the Twilight. It is celebratory music, imbued with optimism for change arising at these temporal transformations, a musical salve for these troubled times. Inviting melodic heads develop from Shapiro, combining with fellow ...

Paul Shapiro: It's In The Twilight

Read "It's In The Twilight" reviewed by Nic Jones

Listeners of all cultures from around the world are familiar with the idea of the “keeper," meaning an item that will find a permanent home ...

Paul Shapiro: It's In The Twilight

On Midnight Minyan, his first record as a leader, he dwelt on Saturday mornings and the Jewish tradition. This time he turns back the clock to Friday evenings and the glow of twilight that the sabbath ...

Read "It's in the Twilight" reviewed by John Kelman


Reconvening the same group that made his debut, Midnight Minyan (Tzadik, 2003), so engaging, tenor saxophonist Paul Shapiro's new release is an even more exuberant affair. Combining a wealth of musical styles with the distinctive Jewish flavor that has made John Zorn's Radical Jewish Culture series so unpredictable, Shapiro proves that twilight needn't be a time ...

Paul Shapiro: It's in the Twilight

Read "It's in the Twilight" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


Consider a single member of any ethnic group in America (so the joke goes), and that person has more fun at one wedding reception than a “regular Anglo-Saxon white dude" does in his whole life. It's an unfair and untrue observation, of course, but saxophonist Paul Shapiro's It's in the Twilight does make a case for ...
