It is a tender and intimate side of the playing personality of trumpeter Avishai Cohen in quartet configuration here on this just-released album recorded in a southern France studio back in September. Yonathan Avishai provides rhapsodic support on piano and there is a real elegance and sense of occasion on this deeply affecting release. Drummer Ziv Ravitz provides a quietly watchful role and the bass lines of Barak Mori deftly navigate the subtle shifts in mood and tempo. The addition of Avishai reciting a Zelda poem is a fine, philosophical, touch at the end.
