Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, 

 

“Every man has his rabbi – let me introduce you to mine” – so Jamie Saft,
Multitalent zwischen Klavier, Synthesizern, Gitarren und Produktion, in den
liner notes zur CD “Trouble”, die da dem one and only Bob Dylan gewidmet
ist. Mit seinem „acoustic piano trio“ hat Saft, der mit keinen geringeren
als (und auch höchst unterschiedlichen Größen wie) Merzbow, Bobby Previte,
the B-52's, Laurie Anderson, The Beastie Boys, Dave Douglas, Marc Ribot,
Antony and the Johnsons, Cuong Vu, Chris Speed u.v.a.m. arbeitet(e) aber
noch eine weitere höchstgelobte Tzadik-CD ("Astaroth – the Jamie Saft Trio
Plays Masada Book II") veröffentlicht und damit einen weiteren ebenso
bedeutenden Zeitgenossen und Partner ins Spiel gebracht: John Zorn, mit dem
er u. a. durch Electric Masada verbunden ist. 

Für „open music“ verneigen sich Jamie Saft, Ben Perowsky (Partner u. a. auch
von John Scofield, Chris Speed, Uri Caine, Steven Bernstein …). und Greg
Cohen (Partner u. a. auch von John Zorns, Tom Waits, Ornette Coleman …)
nunmehr auf eleganteste, souveräne Weise und ohne jede Anbiederung also
gleich vor zwei Rabbis – ein Hochgenuss auf alle Ebenen!

Wir freuen uns auf Ihren Besuch!
