| Eyal Maoz and John Medeski on new CD Edom Guitarist and composer Eyal Maoz announced his new Tzadik CD Edom featuring John Medeski on B3 organ.Edom, a raging Middle Eastern-rock-avant-garde ensemble, tells the story of pain, hope, strength, joy, and celebration. If one has to define influential figures for Edom, John Zorn's Masada, Medeski Martin & Wood, Marc Ribot's Shrek, and all the most adventurous guitar/organ-led bands of the past and present would make the list. "A breakthrough release, " says Tzadik Records founder and legendary composer John Zorn. Featuring a spectacular ensemble of downtown all-stars--John Medeski, Shanir Blumenkranz, and Ben Perowsky--Eyal Maoz's Edom is infected with boundless energy, sensitivity, and vision. John Medeski, of the world-renowned trio Medeski Martin & Wood, is one of the leading Hammond B3 organ masters of our time. Shanir Blumenkranz is featured on over fifteen releases in the Tzadik catalog, participating in many of Zorn's own recordings. Ben Perowsky of Elysian Fields, Dave Douglas, and John Scofield, is a mainstay on the downtown scene and one of the most in-demand percussionists on stages all around the world. Add the blistering guitar work of Eyal Maoz, and the sonic capabilities of Edom reach a radical high point. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
