Arnan Raz - Next Show and a Song: Rockwood Music Hall Stage 1

Next Show and a Song From my last album

Hello friends, I hope you had a great summer and that you are still enjoying what's left of it.  I would love to invite you to my next show. It will be held in NYC on September 17th at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 1 (196 Allen St) at 11:00 PM. The photo for the poster was taken by Tuvia Ruebner, A poet and a photographer from my home town in Israel- Kibbutz Merhavia. I am also sharing another song from my last album which came out last February on Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit Records. It's called "Our Story". I hope you like that.

Love,

Arnan

Zoo Berries - EP​.​1 (RABBIT RABBIT RABBIT RECORDS 2018)

New release by Zoo Berries - EP1 (released on Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit Records)

With a bass player at the driver’s seat, New York City based band ​Zoo Berries cruises with ease through the groove, paying tribute to vintage RnB and Soul with a pinch of millennial lyricism and daring solos. ​Zoo Berries​ is the latest addition to the label and artist collective Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit Records. 

The five tracks on ​Zoo Berries’ ​EP1 make a concise and strong statement starting with Hip Hop beats, going into heartfelt blues and meditative mindsets, and concluding with an existential spoken word exploration.

The opener ​Back in Time​ starts with a cheerful funky bass groove that seamlessly evolves into a full-on piano-saxophone conversation. Next is the bluesy slow simmering track ​Brother​, building anticipation that pays off in the form of two simultaneous explosive saxophone solos entangled within each other (featuring ​Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit Records label mate ​Arnan Raz on tenor saxophone).  ​Final Decision ​draws inspiration from an earlier release of by Ayal Tsubery (Decisions, 2014) and serves a smooth hip hop landscape that quickly turns into a grinding hard hitting rock anthem with a dark chant-like screaming saxophone solo.

From those turbulent moments, Zoo Berries takes us into the serene introspective ​Shir le Shabbat​ (from Hebrew: a song for sabbath) bringing the bass to the front with a solo that oozes expression and reveals an intimate connection to eastern musical traditions.  For the final track, ​Acceptance​, singer/songwriter ​Keren Or Tayar
​steps in to deliver a thought provoking spoken word part, which the band enwraps in a meditative wondrous mood that lingers well after the last note decays. 

In a typical straightforward manner, ​Zoo Berries’​ bandleader ​Ayal Tsubery describes his experience making EP1: ​“Making a record that exudes raw live energy was my goal, and that meant we were all gonna play in the same room, no separations, no headphones, no editing. We came into the studio, tuned up, and started cutting takes. Six hours later we had an EP”

Hello dear friends. Have you heard "Chains Of Stories" already? The album is getting really nice reviews, just to include a few:

"Arnan Raz's touch on the tenor rarely is srained. Each breath is where it needs to be, and the band flows smoothly in his wake"

Sean O'Connell, Downbeat Magazine

“Chains of Stories” is a lovely recording, one which will stand the test of time. Arnan Raz continues to provide us with skilfully crafted, exquisitely executed music"

Mike Gates, UK Vibe

"Close your eyes and pick any of the nine tracks from Chains Of Stories, and you’ll feel the emotions pulsing through the piece"

Jennifer Greenberg, The Jerusalem Post

"And if jazz is the process of creating one minute’s music in one minute’s time, pleasure is certainly the process of enjoying one minute’s s music in one minute’s time – Chains of Stories is coming to you with 49 of those minutes."

Archaic Pop

I am also very happy to invite you to my next show! All the details are on this flyer. We will play music from the new album but mostly new music!
