I knew that Aaron Alexander
was ubiquitous, but I didn't realize what an exciting composer he was
until I saw a piece off this album performed at KlezKanada. Then I got
the CD and fell in love. Alexander brings unusual Jewish depth, both musically
and otherwise, to his music, but he also brings jazz and lots more. This
is the most fun I've had listening to a Tzadik recording since Koby Israelite's
album last year, I think. When we talk about Radical Jewish Music, meaning
music that pushes the edges of what "Jewish Music" is, and that
gets you excited about the idea, this is the music we're talking about.
Don't miss the a href="/bands/alexander/midrash/alexander.midrah.html">Midrash
Mish Mosh . It's less mish mosh than fusion; and an excellent midrash
on how to make new, exciting, experimental Jewish music. |
