Description
After "Oylam" (2010), Judith Berkson, mezzo-soprano, pianist, composer and improviser, returns with another unclassifiable, and strangely compelling, artistic statement. On "Thee They Thy", she leads a trio with Trevor Dunn and Gerald Cleaver through a radically changing programme addressing new settings for prayer (Berkson is also a cantor), original songs, vocal experimentation, improvised piano and more. "I view the pieces on this recording as a natural extension of my solo work," says Judith Berkson. "This idea of songs that are quite intimate and personal, informed by jazz with pockets of improvisation but also drawing from song and avant-garde traditions in their harmonic and melodic material, embracing elements of minimalism and even conceptual art." "Thee They Thy" was recorded at Oktavaen Audio Studio, Mt Vernon, New York. The album was produced by Manfred Eicher.
