Description
Hagiga in Hebrew means "celebration", 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 release, 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 "Mingus Dream", "Cookies" was inspired by a Thelonious Monk-esque world, and "The Bartok Blues" hails from a land Bela Bartok may or may not recognize. With pianist Katia Toobool, bassist Assaf Hakimi, and drummer Yonatan Rosen, Farber's Hagiga is free and expressive, original and energetic, all within a creative framework 25 years in the making.
