Outset by Itamar Borochov

"Once again we come across a cat that can embrace the tradition without using it as a crutch and beating it to death. Sounding very much like Miles in his pre-fusion 60s world beat stage, this trumpeter approaches things from a different angle. Raised in Jaffa with an affinity for Arab and Pan-African sensibilities, this sounds like Miles might have if he actually recorded in the souks with indigenous cats while keeping one foot on US soil. Compelling, interesting stuff that resides firmly in it’s own time zone, this is grandly innovative stuff that isn’t envelope pushing just for the sake of it. This is a young lion you better pay attention to. Well done." The Midwest Record
