(Post-Bop) Robert Kaddouch & Gary Peacock - 53rd Street - 2016, MP3, 320 kbps

Recorded as a duo with Gary Peacock, "53rd Street" reflects techniques developed over many years by Robert Kaddouch in his attempts to embrace, capture and convey musical worlds which are close to his heart and relate to meaningful events in his life. His interpretation is linked to the authenticity of this approach which mixes jazz, children's songs, Yiddish themes and his own compositions. Their encounter in July 2015 in New York’s Avatar Studios brought them on a common journey, alternating these traditional themes with standards arranged by Robert Kaddouch, as well as two of his recent compositions (“53rd Street” and “Agile”). The team intertwines on a hip ‘What Is This Thing Called Love’ while going impressionistic on a liquid ‘Lover Man’…. the piano and bass sigh and weave with thoughtful elegance.
