Shapes and Sounds

Description

The tradition of the trio art form refreshed with elegance by Yonathan Avishaï!Five years after the album "Joys and Solitudes" on ECM, pianist Yonathan Avishai returns to jazz&people, the label that discovered him. Celebrating a decade of fertile collaboration with his trio, formed with Yoni Zelnik on double bass and Donald Kontomanou on drums, the musician offers us with "Shapes and Sounds" an album in which he magnifies everything that has made the strength of his style and reputation: playing with the forms and sonorities of jazz, focusing on building with the quintessence of jazz, swing, the sound of a cymbal, the grain of a double bass, a few piano notes, a touch of blues...) and moments of pure musical poetry, with a simplicity inherited from Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk and Ahmad Jamal.
