Me'or 'Einayim is a precious collection of songs coming from the heart of contemporary Jewish culture. It is the clear definition of a common ground, skipping through time and space yet maintaining a sense ofshining, desperate vitality: from the themes of Fiddler on the roof to “Jewish standards” re-discovered and re-invented in a hard bop or latin perspective by Shelly Manne or Irving Fields. With the wholly coherent addition of some “minor” yet wondrous masterpieces by Cecil Taylor and Ornette Coleman.

Me'or 'Einayim is a voyage of “knowledge” and “re-knowledge”: learning and gratitude. For this occasion, Zeno de Rossi has put together “Shtik”, a terrific collective made up of some of Italy's contemporary jazz scene most inspiring improvisers. A perfect ensemble, in which everybody finds the space to express his own poetic voice and creativity. [by Giorgio Signoretti]
