This is a particularly captivating solo album that Nitai Hershkovits delivers with 'Call on the old Wise'. In this largely improvised work, the pianist draws inspiration from a vast range of influences, starting from his experience in classical music to enrich his discourse with his deep involvement in the sphere of jazz and his repeated explorations in the field of contemporary music. The miraculous balance between these different idioms gives rise to an abundance of colors and timbres that the pianist explores by forcefully imposing a perfectly original voice in his way of combining his improvisational talents with a true sense of form. With a very gentle touch, a light phrasing rich in refreshing harmonies, Nitai improvises like a composer in real time, making 'Call on the Old Wise' not only a unique testament to his talents as a pianist but an inventive work that immediately joins the long series of solo piano albums of which the ECM label can be proud. This album, recorded in Lugano in 2022 under the artistic direction of Manfred Eicher.
