Amir Bresler // Tide & Time
Amir Bresler's Tide & Time, out now on Raw Tapes Records, is a captivating, immersive collaborative journey, blending textures of modern experimentalism with deep-rooted tradition. The album radiates a palpable intimacy, carried by Bresler's fluid drumming and pianist Natai Hershkovits' deft playing. Throughout, there’s a sense of space and freedom — each track unfolding with purpose, yet never constrained by it. From the meditative opener "Song For Leon" to the rhythmically complex closer "A Fortunate Road," Tide & Time invites listeners to surrender to its ebb and flow, conjuring a deeply cinematic soundscape that feels both contemporary and timeless. The interplay between these two musicians is effortlessly magnetic, best exemplified on "Wéwé," where their chemistry transcends genre boundaries, inviting listeners into a world of hypnotic and dynamic improvisation. The understated elegance of this record lingers, furthering both Bresler and Hershkovits' reputations as bold voices in today’s jazz landscape.
