Uri Sharlin and the Cardamon Quartet
Israeli born accordionist, pianist and composer Uri Sharlin is a bonafide innovator, synthesizing melodies from around the Mediterranean Sea with world rhythms into an entirely new music that breathes joyfulness and melancholy with tremendous expressive clarity. Sharlin also draws upon the influences of avant-garde jazz, classical, rumba and Brazilian samba; arriving to New York City in 1998, Uri started studying with jazz legends Jackie Byard and Arthuro O'Farrrell. While getting exposed to music form Latin America, he eventually traveled for long periods to Brazil in order to investigate more of the rich musical culture and language. In 2003, Sharlin started his own group, the Cardamon Quartet, where he blends his early influences from the Mediterranean, with those of the Americas. The group plays mostly Sharlin's compositions along with rearranged traditional folk songs from his native region.
The Cardamon Quartet's other members, each brings his or her unique personality and expression to create the group's novel musical sound: classically trained cellist/bassist Jennifer Vincent is the regular bassist at the Ellington Orchestra, who also integrates jazz into her cello playing; reeds player, Harel Shachal, is an expert in Arabic music and at the New School has designed and teaches the only class in New York City on the art of Taqsim (Mid-Eastern improvisation style); drummer/percussionist Dan Aran is one of the most prominent jazz drummers in New York. Besides performing regularly with such jazz legends as Ron Affif and Junior Mance, Dan also plays with leading ethnic ensembles in New York and Israel.
