Omschrijving

Omer Klein (15 mei 1982 in Israël) is een Israëlische jazzpianist en componist. 
Stilistisch is hij ook geïnspireerd door invloeden van buiten de moderne jazz, 
zoals van de traditionele muziek van zijn oosterse cultuur.

From Israel to Boston and then to New York, Omer Klein has followed the path of so many of his compatriots—up to a point. 
His recordings cemented Klein's reputation as one of the most talented pianists of his generation. Then, with New York at his feet, 
Klein moved to Germany. The change, however, has clearly inspired Klein, for Fearless Friday. 
It is a stunning effort that sees Klein scale new compositional and improvisational heights.

Like a juggler, Klein tosses melodies up, spinning them this way and that with perpetual improvisational flare. 
Klein, undoubtedly, is at the epicentre of these ten tunes but there's no escaping what a brilliant trio outing this is; 
Klein's intuitive partnership with long-term collaborator, bassist Haggai Cohen Milo, provides the fulcrum, 
but it's arguably the rhythmic guile of new drummer Amir Bresler that sparks the pianist's boldest playing. 

Not for nothing were the ten selections recorded in just two days, and as the album title suggests, 
without any inhibitions, for the sense of freedom with which Klein, Cohen-Milo and Bresler attack the music 
is the fruit of a year on the road working these tunes. 

More than simply one of the year's best releases, Fearless Friday is, without a doubt, 
one of the most rewarding piano trio releases of recent years. The most exciting thing, however, 
is that Klein just seems to be getting better, inspired by the two musicians flanking him. 
Hopefully, there will be a lot more music coming from this exceptional trio in the years ahead.
