Ori Jacobson Quartet - Fading Bridges
About his debut album "Fading Bridges", Ori Jacobson stated – “The concept of the album is based on my life story – to bridge the worlds of Jazz, Arabic and Jewish music while finding an authentic voice as a composer and saxophonist in the current jazz scene. This music has been recorded as part of a Master’s thesis research for Berklee Global Jazz Institute, inspired by my mentors – Danilo Perez, Joe Lovano, George Garzone, Dave Liebman and Simon Shaheen.“
