Hazan, Shay
Good Morning Universe (10")
'Good Morning Universe' is a dynamic and captivating album that brings together an impressive lineup of musicians, including Eyal Netzer on tenor saxophone, Nadav Masel on a custom 5-string cello called the "Hamsa", and a powerful dual-drummer setup with Haim E. Peskoff and Ofer Bymel. 'Good Morning Universe' blends free jazz with experimental textures with Beger, known for his free jazz approach and spiritual, introspective sound, leading the group with his expressive tenor sax, while Hazan's double bass grounds the music with rich, resonant tones. The interplay between the two saxophonists creates a robust and multifaceted sonic dialogue, while the dual-drummer formation injects vibrant, textured rhythms. Masel's unique "Hamsa" cello adds an extra layer of depth and atmosphere to the music.
