IS HE LISTENING? (Tzadik Records) http://www.tzadik.com/
My music is hard-hitting with Jazz, Lyrical, Middle Eastern, Balkan, Gypsy and Metal overtones. Through my current work on John Zorn's label 'Tzadik' I've released three records, 'Dance of the Idiots' (2003), 'Mood Swings' (2005) and 'Orobas' (2006). My next release King Papaya will be an own release on Circus Mayhem. I think it's my best album yet.
I studied classical piano as a child, switched to drum-kit when I was 15, and was always intrigued with other instruments. I took upon the accordion as a second instrument, after seeing the Romanian Gypsy band 'Taraf de Haidouks', which... totally blew my brain. On my albums I also play piano, guitar, clarinet, duduk, percussions as well as playing around with electronics. For the hard stuff I've had some great guest contributions - Gilad Aztmon (sax), Tigran Aleksanyan (duduk), Marcel Mamaliga (violin) amongst others.
As a performer, playing my music live, I stick with the accordion rather than the drum-kit, a huge challenge because all my life I've performed as a drummer. My live project is a 5 piece band - accordion, guitar, keys, bass and drums. The live set is intense, playing a selection of music from my records. My live band are: Yaron Stavi - Upright and Electric Bass; Oded Kafri - Drums; John Turville - Keys; Eran Kendler - Guitar; and me on Accordion.
Thanks for stopping by.
