About the album

Hagiga in Hebrew means “celebration,” and in saxophonist Alon Farber’s music for his 25-year-old ensemble, he celebrates the cultural divergence of his Israeli heritage through a heady melding of Swing, Moroccan, Funk and Brazilian backgrounds. For his third Origin release, Farber focused on the dream state, where the process of writing new music begins for him–imagining the development of an idea, the recording of it and then listening back, before ever putting notes on paper. Musings on Charles Mingus delivered "Mingus Dream," “Cookies” was inspired by a Thelonious Monk-esque world, and “The Bartok Blues” hails from a land Béla Bartók may or may not recognize. With pianist Katia Toobool, bassist Assaf Hakimi, and drummer Yonatan Rosen, Farber’s Hagiga is free and expressive, original and energetic, all within a creative framework 25 years in the making.
Hagiga bedeutet auf Hebräisch „Feier“, und in der Musik, die der Saxophonist Alon Farber für sein 25-jähriges Ensemble komponiert hat, feiert er die kulturelle Vielfalt seines israelischen Erbes durch eine berauschende Mischung aus Swing, marokkanischen, Funk- und brasilianischen Einflüssen. Für sein drittes Album bei Origin konzentrierte sich Farber auf den Traumzustand, in dem für ihn der Prozess des Komponierens beginnt – er stellt sich die Entwicklung einer Idee vor, nimmt sie auf und hört sie sich dann an, bevor er auch nur eine Note zu Papier bringt. Aus seinen Gedanken zu Charles Mingus entstand „Mingus Dream“, „Cookies“ wurde von einer Welt im Stil von Thelonious Monk inspiriert, und ‚The Bartok Blues‘ stammt aus einem Land, das Béla Bartók vielleicht wiedererkennen würde. Mit der Pianistin Katia Toobool, dem Bassisten Assaf Hakimi und dem Schlagzeuger Yonatan Rosen ist Farbers Hagiga frei und ausdrucksstark, originell und energiegeladen, und das alles innerhalb eines kreativen Rahmens, der 25 Jahre lang entstanden ist.
