sweet strings and dry Melancholy of an accordion.“Source: Essliner Zeitung - “Eldad Zitrin actually is a Jazz saxophonist, but his instrument was the first he offered up to the pop-orientated sound of this debut album. Instead, one can hear a Duduk, a Turkish clarinet, or a Kamancheh, an Iranian bowed string instrument. Having so many folkloristic instruments, one has to wonder where the border between Israeli Jazz on the one side and Folk and Pop on the other side is.”

[…] Towards the end of the concert, the quartet increases speed and dynamic noticeably and animates the grateful audience to stand up and dance.”

This musical deconstruction is their method. […]One of the secrets of this project is how the musicians leave something recognizable, even though they have so much fun altering it. ”
