The Poetics

Digital (16-bit/44.1 kHz) · XJM26001 · 51:31

With „The Poetics“, pianist and composer Omer Klein expands his celebrated trio (Haggai Cohen-Milo on bass, Amir Bresler on drums) into an exhilarating sextet. Joining them are saxophone stars Tineke Postma and Omri Abramov, and Colombian percussionist Tupac Mantilla. The album is full of infectious grooves, memorable melodies and adventurous harmonies, carrying a palpable love for Brazilian and African musical worlds. Its eight tracks arc from „Compassion“ and „Plat Tunisien“ through „Among Lions“ and „Vento & Terra“ to the dance-like „Samba of My Own“. Between chamber-music finesse and physical playfulness, an expanded version of Klein's musical language unfolds – melodic, rhythmically rich and internationally connected. Released on XJAZZ! Music.
