"This band is killer. The songs on "Sketch of Tel Aviv"
(Smalls) are
timeless. These guys are all jazz musicians, but you don't have to be
a
jazz fan to like this record. (If you are, you'll be blown away.) It's
melodic, with a rock spirit to it. It's playful; they play with each other,
like dialogue through music. The trumpet player Avishai Cohen has his
own solo careeer, and they all have different setups. I think that every
term that scares some people away from listening to jazz could actually
be a complimentary adjective to this record. This album is funky and jazzy
I like to hear it in the car or to start the day. You can listen to it
like you'd watch a movie, with you full attention. They bring the sound
and the visual to it."
