On Seven Seas, Cohen combines jazz, pop, Latin, and traditional Jewish elements to create a distinctive sound. “Dreaming” and “About a Tree (Oyfn Weg Shteyt a Bohm)” feature wordless vocals; the first track has a nice Latin-tinged stretch, and the latter cut has a pleasing Jewish-flavored melody. The title track is an uptempo smoker with Shai Maestro’s piano evoking Afro-Cuban music, and Itomar Doari’s charged percussion recalling both the Caribbean and the Middle East. And Cohen’s bass — bowed and pizzicato — is on fire. “Ani Aff” finds Karen Malka and Cohen intoning Hebrew lyrics with a punchy horn section behind them. “Hayo Hayta” is the sort of finely rendered chamber jazz you might hear on an ECM release. “Tres Hermanicas Eran,” with an unaccompanied Cohen on piano and vocals, closes the album. The gentle, moody song features lyrics in Ladino, or Judeo-Spanish.

融合也好民族风也好这专依旧强,相对来说这专bass并不特别特别出彩,倒是Shai Maestro的piano基本上是这专的leader

听了这么多张,这张最能感受到Cohen的民族认同感,希伯来语的吟唱还有一如既往中东色彩,歌名应该都是希伯来语的音译吧,还有专辑的名字Seven Seas,听出了犹太人千年的四海飘零啊……虽然我一直觉得犹太人这个定义挺玄的,但还是很喜欢这张!
