What We SAy

Another deep jazz fusion dive from the Raw Tapes stable this time from drummer Amir Bresler who lays down a serious, tempo fluctuating, globetrotting rhythmic journey for his gleeful & seriously tuned in bandmates to groove, synergise and space out over. It's a real trip.

What The Release Notes Say

In November 2020, with the entire world locked down at home, Amir Bresler was itching to create. He’d spent years onstage, but never released a full solo album. A friend’s invitation brought him to a rural village outside Tel Aviv, and the move lit a spark: Bresler set up shop in the village’s local auditorium named ‘The House of Arches’, and planned single-day sessions with different combinations of Tel Aviv’s finest, including keyboardist/producer Rejoicer, Yemen Blues frontman Ravid Kahalani, bassist Gilad Abro, pianist Nomok and trumpeter Sefi Zisling. For nearly a week, crews of friends drove north and dug into psychedelic jazz and funk, all built upon Bresler’s polyrhythmic beats. They captured spontaneous bursts of energy — free-form jams in the morning reigned into tight, mesmerizing grooves in the afternoon. Those six compositions — each recorded live in one day — make up House of Arches, Amir Bresler’s first solo LP, out March 9 on Raw Tapes, with grooves as deep as the Mediterranean where it was conceived.
