Take a moment to tune in to the tasteful playing of Israeli
guitarist Yotam Silberstein on his new effort "Next Page."
Employing a wide palette of styles and sounds, this gifted
instrumentalist makes a bold statement of purpose with
both his stunning musicianship and his collection of original
compositions.
Yotam definitely holds his own throughout
with some of the heaviest cats on the scene today, and
the date also features the collective genius of organist Sam
Yahel, drummer Willie Jones III, and tenor saxophone sensation
Chris Cheek in supporting roles. While the session
is definitely straight ahead and features some hard swinging
highlights, the music is also elegantly lyrical and brilliantly
evocative of a more modern jazz sensibility at other
moments.
