Oded Tzur: Here Be Dragons

Soft and misty moods are created by tenor saxist Oded Tzur and his team of Nitai Herskovits/p, Petros Klampanis/b and Johnathan Blake/dr. Tzur’s tone and delivery and gasping sighs, floating and hovering whether in solo pieces like the a couple of the “Miniature” tunes or as he hovers over the trio with Hershkovits’ Bill Evans-styled touch on “Here Be Dragons” or the thoughtful “20 Years”. Blake’s cymbals provide guiding lights on the pulse that builds up on “The Dream” and Klampanis delivers rich melody and palpable direction non “To Hold Your Hand” with a take of “Can’t Help Falling In Love” a last rites plea. Cirrus clouds of sound.
