Song Without Words is reviwed at the March 2012 issue of the prestigious DownBeat Magazine.
The album received 3.5 stars:
At the heart of soprano saxophonist Yuval Cohen's second album as a a leader is an appreciation of the
beauty inherent in the human
exchange of ideas. In this case, that
exchange takes the form of eight
conversations between soprano sax
and piano. The result is a searingly beautiful mix of odes to wide-eyed melancholy ("Nehama"), the Israeli countryside ("Nature Song") and the melodic possibilities that open up when a duet focuses on the pure
spirit of their musical interaction.
Both Cohen and Shai Maestro contribute original compositions, and
each player gracefully shares responsibility for moving pieces forward. Maestro's pensive "Nehama" opens with Cohen taking dark, measured steps across the melody line, as a simple, equally cautious piano refrain
grounds the soprano sax. The duo tackles John Coltrane’s “26/2,” in
7/4 time with a semblance of ease despite the challenging arrangement.
Like “26/2,” the standards on the album follow unexpected routes.
“Bye Bye Blackbird” builds its energy slowly, until late in the tune when it starts to swing, making it identifiable as the upbeat, Henderson and Dixon-penned tune. And the mellow twittering of the melody on "Skylark" allows each player to float and weave around one another, creating an equal and symbiotic dialogue ("Jennifer Odell")]]> info@yuvalcohenmusic.com Sun, 5 Feb 2012 14:02:31 -0500 http://www.yuvalcohenmusic.com 02.05.12
