DUETS

Description

There is a beautiful friendship and great loyalty between Israeli guitarist Yotam Silberstein (based in New York) and the head of the label JOJO RECORDS Simon Belelty (also an excellent guitarist). After two albums dedicated to covers (Standards Vol.1 and 2) released on JOJO RECORDS, their collaboration continues through an exceptional duo, where Yotam Silberstein dialogues with one of the greatest double bassists in the history of jazz: Mr. Ron Carter (who will celebrate his 89th birthday on May 4, 2026). It should also be noted that Yotam Silberstein enjoys playing with musicians much older than himself, in order to pay tribute to them and acknowledge their journey while they are still alive and active (before collaborating with Ron Carter, he played with pianist Hank Jones, saxophonist George Coleman, or drummer Billy Hart). This Duets reveals an organic and sensitive musical encounter, where the two musicians weave a tapestry that is both melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic, and where the absence of drums is not devoid of swing, and frees up space around a dialogue full of finesse and elegance, built on a latent pulse.
