Release : february, 2012
The world of Jazz regularly acquires new talents; they are very often talented technicians, but very seldom a guarantee of emotion and pleasure. As soon as he was 19, Shai Maestro has deepened his experience as a sideman to Avishai Cohen. After five years on the most prestigious stages at the four corners of the world, time for independence has come, along with time for creation. Filled with traditional culture, both classical and jazz, Shai Maestro has polished his playing of the piano and his talent for composition but has also been able to surround himself in the best way: Ziv Ravitz on drums (Lee Konitz, Esperanza Spalding...) and Jorge Roeder on double bass (Roy Haynes, Gary Burton, Julian Lage ...). An entrancing trio on record, a magical one on stage.
