One of the most in demand pianists of the past few years, Uri Caine makes his Knitting Factory/JAM Records debut with his newest release . His collaborator on this new project is famed Sephardic/Morrocan singer Aaron Bensoussan. Uri has been making music professionally for almost twenty years; his recent contributions to the Winter & Winter label have been wildly adored by fans and critics alike. Aaron has been captivating audiences with his modern approach to Sephardic music since his arrival in this country. With this new project, they are joined by a diverse ensemble of musicians. The result is a startling reconciliation between ancient tradition and post-modern trail blazing. The musicians on the album include DJ Olive, Adam Rogers, Gilad, and Emanuel Mann. The mix is eclectic and the resulting sound covers turf from synagogues to jazz halls to DJ booths. Uri shocked critics and classical music lovers alike when he released his version of Mahler pieces. Judging from the press' reaction to this new ensemble, he will do it again.

Aaron regularly draws large audiences with his performances and has brought Sepharidic music to the hilt of experience in synagogues around the country. The music is centered around Uri's piano compositions. His wonderfully spirited and tactile way of approaching the keyboard is complimented by Aaron's inspired vocals and fresh interpretations of the Sephardic traditional melodies. Olive swirls beats and atmospheric samples in and out of the rhythmic spaces. Gilad propels the rhythms forward. Emmanuel holds the bottom together with his concrete bass playing while Adam's guitar playing flows fluidly and with the lilt of a breeze. If you thought that a jazz pianist would have a hard time interpreting classical music, wait until you hear what he does with the mix of traditional Sephardic music, a DJ, and jazz. Certainly one of the most interesting releases this year from the JAM label, this album will introduce audiences to that other side of Jewish music, the Sephardic sound.
