5.0 out of 5 stars
Young Lion, July 25, 2001
This review is from: Exodus (Audio CD)
John Zorn calls Danny Zamir, the leader of Satlah trio, a "Young Lion". Zorn doesn't exaggerate, Zamir is talented and very promissing. He looks like a boy, but when he grabs the alto, he is a giant. This album captures the band live at the legendary Tonic club in NYC, tunes known from the previous studio album (Danny Zamir "Satlah") are more powerfull, soulfull, but the band can play even better! I saw then twice in summer 2001 in Cracow, during the Jewish Art Festival, and their performances were absolutely great! The improvisations are long, harmonic and deep, the emotion is similar to Coltrane's "religious" period. Satlah melodies are based on jewish scales, but the message is universal. Experience it!
