Someck, Ronny/Elliott Sharp - Revenge Of The Stuttering Child
SKU
TZ7117
An exciting meeting of two eclectic Jewish masters. Ronny Someck, a poet born in Iraq, now living in Israel and composer Elliott Sharp born in Cleveland, now living in NYC. Revenge... is a collaboration of sounds -- sounds as word and sounds as music, a tangled-up feedback loop that continuously builds and mutates. Much more than poetry set to music, each piece draws a bead, aims and fires in a different direction, hitting the familiar, the strange, the wry, the warm, the dark, the furious. As RonnySomeck's words are fleshed by his own throat, Sharp's music is manifest in his own varied instrumental voices augmented by the talents of pianist Anthony Coleman, the cello and accordion of the Parkins sisters and percussionist Salifoski. In the prolific, un predictable world of Elliott Sharp, this project stands apart.'' [Tzadik]
