Shai’s expansive pianism is well-matched by Dizack’s alert, quickthinking approach to improvising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd, as ever, Maestro is taking the music forward while also respecting its sense of tradition. Near the end of a programme comprised almost entirely of Maestro originals, exploring a range of temperaments, the quartet offers its own take on Duke Ellington’s “In A Sentimental Mood”, while Shai’s tune “Hank and Charlie” pays tribute to the musical empathy shared by the late Hank Jones and Charlie Haden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Human’ was recorded at Studios la Buissonne in the South of France in February 2020, and produced by Manfred Eicher.\u003cbr\u003eShai Maestro: piano\u003cbr\u003ePhilip Dizack: trumpet\u003cbr\u003eJorge Roeder: double bass\u003cbr\u003eOfri Nehemya: drums\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSocial Media:\u003cbr\u003eECM Facebook: (103k Followers)\u003cbr\u003eInstagram (42k Followers)\u003cbr\u003eTwitter (14k Followers)\u003cbr\u003eShai Maestro: Facebook (22k Followers)\u003cbr\u003eInstagram (23k Followers)\u003cbr\u003eTwitter (4.2k Followers)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ehttps:\/\/youtu.be\/ya3vr42TgFc (“Human” - official audio)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePress:\u003cbr\u003eConfirmed reviews (publications\/online):\u003cbr\u003eJazzwise, BBC Music Magazine, Record Collector, Hi Fi +, Jazz Journal, London\u003cbr\u003eJazz News, Jazz Views, UK Vibe, AP Reviews\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRadio airplay:\u003cbr\u003eBBC Radio 3 J to Z, BBC Radio 3 Late Junction, Jazz FM – shows presented by Chris Philips, Jez Nelson, Ruth Fisher, Helen Mayhew, Sarah Ward; soulandjazz. com Mike Chadwick\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracks: Time \/ Mystery and Illusions \/ Human \/ GG \/ The Thief’s Dream \/ Hank and Charlie \/ Compassion \/ Prayer \/ They Went to War \/ In a Sentimental Mood \/ Ima (For Talma Maestro)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ECM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37478959317148,"sku":"890670","price":17.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/ShaiMaestro-Human.jpg?v=1610522719","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/shai-maestro-human","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
