Shorter Days - a tribute to Wayne Shorter
Shorter days EPK
Guitarist Eran Har Even re-imagines Shorter’s timeless masterpieces in solo and trio, featuring bassist Omer Govreen and drummer Wouter Kühne.
“In the past three years I felt an urge to re-discover Wayne’s body of work. While learning and interpolating a large portion of his book of compositions I simultaneously dove into his ideology and lifestyle and found an ocean of inspiration, both musically as well as to discover much about myself” [Eran]
Eran’s musical concept is rooted in curiosity and conversation through stretching the borders of melody, harmony, texture and form. With his trio he flies high, celebrating life and exploring mysteries.
Press quotes
George Cole / Jazzviews
"We’re sure Shorter would have approved [of this project]... This is a fine tribute to a jazz colossus, from a band I hope we hear a lot more from."
Musical Approach and Creativity:
Eyal Hareuveni / Salt Peanuts
"Har Even’s fresh interpretations are by no means nostalgic but explore the wise and intricate compositional ideas of Shorter and adapt these compositions to the playful and powerful energy of his trio."
Jazz Journal / Roger Farbey
"Har Even’s imaginative arrangements of these Shorter pieces are captivating and enlightening."
Jazz ese Ruido
"…Har Even brings Shorter's songs into his own territory so that they seem to be written for guitar... a good example of how to pay tribute to a musician while respecting his musical philosophy and, at the same time, using a new personal voice."
Instrumental Excellence:
LIRA / Biggest music magazine in Sweden
"Har Even's playing is top class, which holds the record together."
Jazz Flits / Hans Invernizzi
"Har Even sounds confident, and plays Shorter's complex note sequences with careless ease."
Song Specific:
La Habitación del Jazz
"All the pieces, whether energetic like ‘Lost’ or, on the contrary, more relaxed like ‘El Toro’ or ‘The Big Push,’ are approached with imagination, passion, and arrangements that do justice to Shorter's originals."
George Cole / Jazzviews
"Har Even begins his version with a dream-like opening, his delicate guitar picking, accompanied by the sound of shimmering cymbals... it’s a really good re-imagination."
This is for Albert, live at the Goethe institute.
