This is a rather unusual title. It's a live recording of Shai Maestro, one of the greatest Israeli jazz pianists. It was recorded at a jazz festival in Switzerland, and surprisingly, despite being a pianist himself, he has added a keyboard player to form an unconventional quartet. Overall, it has the beautiful sound of an acoustic jazz trio, but the keyboard player effectively creates a floating, spatial atmosphere. With excellent soundboard recording quality, this is a great title that can be enjoyed by both authentic jazz fans and avant-garde fans alike.
