David Buchbinder’s Odessa/Havana
Odessa/Havana (Tzadik)
Cuban music is
usually considered to be West African and Spanish in origin, but its
roots run deeper. In recent years, musicians have explored links
between the elegant early- 20th-century music of Cuba and Algeria. Similarly, Canadian trumpeter David Buchbinder crosses Cuba and klezmer with his band Odessa/Havana.
The organic historical link between the two apparently distant cultures
can be discerned in the moody minor chords that passed from the Near
East through Russian Jewish settlements and into Moorish Spain alike. Buchbinder slips easily between both worlds, melding influences in the context of a contemporary jazz big band.
