Flower by Shlomi Goldenberg

About the Album:
“Flower” is a compilation of recordings made with my group "The Little Big Band" in Boston Mass. 1985-1990

These recordings were made on 1inch reel to reel tapes. When I tried to download the tracks to a computer, the old tapes vaporized and became dust. I was heartbroken, until my mother told me she kept my safety tapes deep in her closet. The tapes got a chemical treat which kept them from vaporizing and then I downloaded them to my computer.

1. "Cool As Ice" Got a letter from a friend, who was tracking the Himalayan mountains saying: "Hey Shlomi Got a Really good name for a song... "Cool as Ice”, so I wrote this tune, which became my title tune during the 1980's
Later on I arranged and recorded it with a Jazz Quartet and Chamber Orchestra.
You can hear the wonderful Intro and solo by Pianist John Medeski.
