Jazz Side Of The Moon - The Music Of Pink Floyd

by: Sam Yahel, Seamus Blake, Mike Moreno, Ari Hoenig

Release Date April 28, 2008
I was prepared for the worst but actually it is quite good - a jazzy interpretation of the Dark Side.

Well recorded (Chesky!) and finely executed it is an easy-listening curiousity.
Surprisingly (for a tribute album) it stands well to repeated listenings, a good piece of work in it's own right.

A keeper.

Yaya³

by: Joshua Redman, Sam Yahel, Brian Blade

Release Date June 24, 2002
This is the same trio from Joshua Redman's latest album, "Elastic." The material from this group is much more accessible than the last "Passage Of Time" (though this too was excellent and drew high praise from many.) With this group, his sax plays those licks which you find yourself humming along with instantly, like you somehow knew them already - just as on the early albums that made his name. And he is back with the fantastic Brian Blade on drums, from those ground-breaking albums. Sam Yahel supporting and contributing on Hammnd B3 to make a great sounding album that recalls the best of the classic sax/organ/drum combos, but with a modern twist.
