The third CD in the legacy of mad genius Anthony Coleman’s most popular working band takes us, as always, to a magnetic world of loving dysfunction. Together for over four years, the piano trio Sephardic Tinge has developed a unique style rivaling the telepathic interplay of Bill Evans, the compositional integrity of Herbie Nichols and the popular cheese of Irving Fields. Charming Jewish music informed by jazz, borscht belt humor, Latin rhythms, Ahasuerus and self-hatred from one of the most twisted minds in the downtown scene.
