Listen on:
In these seven diverse originals, violinist/composer Yehudit manifests her deep roots in both jazz and classical music. Scored for a multi-timbral chamber jazz ensemble, the music combines harmonic and rhythmic complexity with strong melodies and grooves. The recording features some of the Bay Area’s finest musicians and provides them with ample opportunities for inspired individual and collective improvisation.
- Yehudit - five-string electric violin, acoustic violin
- Sheldon Brown - tenor and soprano saxophones, clarinet
- Steve Erquiaga - guitars
- Dan Feiszli - acoustic bass, electric bass
- Curt Moore - drums
- Gerry Grosz - vibraphone
…appetizing morsels of timeless music that shows many influences – from gipsy jazz to south American rhythms – played with flawless technique and chamber-esque stylishness.
Massimo Ricci, Temporary Fault
…In the Zone comes across with a ‘big band’ sound, as the violinist scored this work for a multi-timbral chamber jazz ensemble, and it works on all levels…another stellar release, one that features not only solid musicianship but great songwriting as well.
Pete Pardo, Sea of Tranquility
Yehudit’s violin has an original, virtuoso sound…A wide range of styles includes straight-ahead and Latin, all accessible.
