So much news at the moment it is really hard to know where to start!
The debut album launch of Zohar’s Nigun ’The Four Questions’ on Saturday April 14 at venue505 was a resounding success with a fantastic turnout and a really amazing, quite uncannily magical feeling that is impossible to describe. Look out for some spine tingling video footage courtesy of Paul Green from both the album launch and our slot at the Shir Madness Festival in the coming weeks. The album was made CD of the week on Lucky Ocean’s Radio National Program on ABC and is in the early stages of securing distribution both in Australia and internationally. The Four Questions is the debut CD of my fledgling record label Rectify Records that I have set up to to release extremely rare and beautiful recordings that mix traditional folk and jazz elements drawing from some of the finest artists and ensembles from across Australia and the world.
In other album related news my tribute album to the composing prowess of Django Reinhardt Souvenirs made it to the final 3 nominations in the Tradtional Jazz Category in the prestigious Bell Jazz Awards and is up for a review next month in the New York City Jazz Record. The album which seems to keep circulating on a momentum of it’s very own is available online both in physical form and digitally through Toca Records, CDBaby, iTunes and in hardcopy in Australia at Birdland.
I am currently performing gigs in Israel with the phenomenal Israeli Jazz band Swing de Gitanes. Great guys and a lot of fun to perform with, gig dates and details can be found on my homepage and on the band’s website here. Next month on June 10 I will be performing with long time collaborater and band leader Lulo Reinhardt in his Latin-Swing Project at the International Romani Art Festival in Bucharest, Romania and the following month at the Horizonte Festival in Koblenz, Germany. In October and November I will be touring with Lulo throughout the US as part of the In The Footsteps Of Django tour which will feature Lulo’s Latin-Swing Project and Manouche-Jazz maestros Les Doigts de L’Hommes and Balkan-Jazz superstars Norig Gadgi and Sebastien Giniaux.
Saving the best news for last is the debut European appearance of The Asthmatix in Berlin and other cities of Germany throughout July and August!! Performance dates can be found here and festival appearances include the prestigious Fusion Festival, Am Ende Der Wald Festival and 3000 Festival Wald See.
Stay tuned..:)
