Alon Farber Hagiga - Reflecting On Freedom - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2020 EP including the single InchI Wish I KnewInch. Before Forest Blakk could sing about loss and love, he had to pull himself back from the brink. Raised by parents with a history of drug use, he has hair-raising tales of his childhood, including an assassination attempt on his father on the family's front stoop, rooms full of cash, and constant uprooting to places like Jamaica and Florida. Blakk underwent a spiritual and physical transformation that enabled him to carve a new musical direction that he calls Inchurban folk,Inch blending his identity as a city kid with his attraction to artists like Don Henley and Joe Cocker, whose soulfulness and emotionality resonate with him. Now he's the kind of nimble songwriter who etches new facets into the surfaces of tried and true terrain.

Hagiga in Hebrew means InchcelebrationInch and in saxophonist Alon Farber's music for his 25-year-old ensemble, he celebrates the cultural divergence of his Israeli heritage through a heady melding of Swing, Moroccan, Funk and Brazilian backgrounds. For his third Origin , Farber focused on the dream state where the process of writing new music begins for him - imagining the development of an idea, the recording of it and then listening back, before ever putting notes on paper. Musings on Charles Mingus delivered InchMingus Dream,Inch InchCookiesInch was inspired by a Thelonious Monk-esque world, and InchThe Bartok BluesInch hails from a land Bela Bartok may or may not recognize.
