HEAR, O ISRAEL - A PRAYER CEREMONY IN JAZZ

Le vendredi, c'est Shabbat. Pas d'histoire érudite à partager sur ce titre découvert hier soir, en fouinant dans la discothèque numérique de Radio France. Un petit copier/coller fera l'affaire. C'est pas de l'hébreu, je vous laisse traduire.



In 1965, encouraged by his rabbi, the 17-year-old Jonathan Klein wrote a selection of jazz themes for a Jewish Sabbath concert. Originally recorded in 1968 by an all-star cast of musicians that included Herbie Hancock, Thad Jones, and Ron Carter, the collection is a unique, free-flowing series of pieces that perfectly complement the accompanying Jewish Sabbath prayers, and provides a rare opportunity to hear these talented musicians performing in a unique setting that's at once creative and intensely devotional.

      is wondrous from start to finish. But the particular highlights include the modal magic of “Sanctification,” the bossa jazz of “Kiddush” and the bluesy modes of “Torah Service-Adoration.” Douglas Payne
