Discover Nitai Herskovits' particularly captivating solo album 'Call on the Old Wise' on vinyl.
In this largely improvised work, the pianist draws inspiration from a vast range of influences, starting from his classical music background to enrich his discourse with his deep involvement in the jazz sphere 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 asserting a perfectly original voice in the way he combines his improvisational talents with a true sense of form. With a very gentle touch and light phrasing rich in refreshing harmonies, Nitai improvises like a real-time composer, making 'Call on the Old Wise' not only a unique testament to his pianistic talents but an inventive work that immediately joins the long series of solo piano albums that the ECM label can be proud of.
This album, recorded in Lugano in 2022 under the artistic direction of Manfred Eicher, follows the pianist's contributions to Oded Tzur's quartet in his two recordings 'Here Be Dragons' (2020) and 'Isabela' (2022).
