  • Israeli multi-instrumentalist Atzmon has thankfully abandoned the clunky conceptual Klezmer of his last album. Of course, the controversies surrounding his contentious views on Zionism cast a shadow and afford a context for his musical vision, but here they’re communicated by their absence, as if music is the only real facilitator of human understanding. Instead, the album feels tranquil and meditative with Atzmon’s virtuoso sax and Frank Harrison’s McCoy Tyner-influenced piano to the fore.
