Live in Florence
Naftule’s Dream is one of the most amazing groups that you will ever hear. Based in Boston, the group emerged as a major force in the radical Jewish music movement out of New York City in the 1990s and continues to break new ground with its unique blend of modern classical, freely improvised rock fusion, and Jewish roots music. The six musicians weave fiery improvisation into complex arrangements in a style reminiscent of Charles Mingus and Henry Threadgill. The American Reporter describes their music as “what you might hear were Ornette Coleman to play a Jewish wedding.”
Naftule’s Dream is a well-known player on the international circuit, with gigs including the Berlin Jazz Festival, Ashkenaz Festival of New Yiddish Culture in Toronto, Montreal Jazz Festival, Chicago World Music Festival, Bell-Atlantic Jazz Festival, New York Jazz Festival, as well as in clubs throughout the United States and Europe. With this new record “Live in Florence”, we are privileged to hear what they themselves call their most memorable live performance ever.
