River Of Eden
Soul Song, 2025
8/10
The esteemed bassist Yosef Gutman Levitt and instrumentalist Peter Broderick come together for these 12 rich tracks that include Yonathan Avishai, Itay Sher and Yoed Nir.
“The Open Door” begins the listen with strong attention to mood, where Avishai’s stirring piano is met with gentle strings, and “Nigun Al Achat” follows with Broderick’s meticulous violin that suits the calm keys and light melody.
“Revolution” arrives in the middle and allows Nir’s gorgeous cello to complement the emotive spirit, while “The Cinnamon Swirl” spotlights the cozy nylon string guitar courtesy of Sher.
Near to the end, “Reflection” carries a more raw demeanor that tugs on the heartstrings, and “Wave Of Forgiveness” exits with a dreamy landscape of twinkling keys, lovely strings and mysterious effects.
The addition of loops and processing from Broderick really adds much to the affair, and Gutman’s subtle but effective bass won’t go unnoticed either for this folk, neo-classical and harmonic experience.
Travels well with: Yosef Gutman Levitt- The World And Its People; Luigi Perrachio- Piano Quintets
