Ehud Banai & Berry Sakharof Live at the Tamar Festival

JayMeydad — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 20:43:38 +0000

Last night I took a day trip to the dead sea to see two of my favorite Israeli musicians performing on the same stage at the beautiful venue of Wadi Zohar, a natural amphitheater located in a creek right next to the dead sea. I’ve seen both musician perform many times in the past 15-20 years and last night was one of the top concerts of both.

Here are a few videos I was able to capture throughout this amazing night, including the epic ”Foreign Country”, that last song in Berry’s song, dedicated to Gilad Shalit who was released today from captivity after more than 5 years.

And finally, the entire playlist with a few other songs can be viewed here:

Berry Sakharof’s complete discography is available on bandcamp – Fantastic!

I love Berry’s latest album “You Are Here” and was so happy to discover that he put his entire discography (sixteen albums) for streaming on Bandcamp. Listen, enjoy and remember to support him by purchasing the CDs.

So happy Foreign Affair’s album is there as well. I had it only on a cassete and without a tape recorder at home I could not play it for many years, until now.

Ehud Banai – Live 2011

JayMeydad — Thu, 19 May 2011 13:56:54 +0000

Ehud Banai, one of my favorite Israeli artists, has recently released a new fantastic album called “Drops of the Night”and went on a tour. As a matter of fact, he is not just an artist, but one that I have been following, and influenced, by for 25 years.

His debut album “Ehud Banai and the Refugees” was the first vinyl record that I had purchased and the track “Your Time Is Over” was one of the first songs and one of my favorite ones he has released.

Here’s a sample from Ehud’s concert. Don’t miss it.

Bandcamp has some really great Israeli music albums

JayMeydad — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 07:20:05 +0000

Most of the albums you will find are by Indie artists that are probably unknown to most of you. It does not mean there are not good. Besides, there are also a few albums by very popular artists.

So, explore Bandcamp, discover new talent, enjoy free listening & if you really like it spend a few $ and support the artists.

The craziest horse on earth

They just played this on the radio. Thank god there’s YouTube. What an outstanding performance of Hurricane by the legendary Neil Young & the Crazy Horse (from the epic Live Rust album).

Roy Zu-Arets on Piano Live in Tel Aviv

JayMeydad — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 16:56:32 +0000

A little over a year ago I worked with my friend, pianist and composer Roy Zu-Arets, on a very exciting musical micro-blogging project that we named "The Vibe of Now".

We did it as a side project to our day-to-day jobs but were able to accomplish quite a lot. We released over 60 video clips of Roy's original improvisations to our YouTube channel and got great feedback from users all over the world. We released 2 albums and still selling them. And we put together a live show called Constage where Roy and a group of three other talented musicians and a VJ performed and improvised live on stage in LA.

A few months ago Roy and I returned to Israel with our families and both he and I are already busy working on new ventures and projects. But we wanted to try and keep "The Vibe of Now" live in some capacity perhaps with an Israeli twist.

So we are happy to announce that next week Roy will perform in the OzenBar in Tel Aviv, tracks from our YouTube channel (leaving some space for improvisation of course). VJ Eran Barnea (Constage's VJ) will add his visual effects.

When: January 6, 2011 at 20:30pm
Where: OzenBar – King George 48, Tel Aviv (map)
Tickets: 40 NIS – get them here

Should be very special. Hope to see you there.

From Seattle to Delhi via Toronto – Long Road Indeed

JayMeydad — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 15:21:08 +0000

I recently saw “Eat, Pray, Love” and loved the movie and its great soundtrack. One of my favorite tracks is Eddie Vedder’s performance to Pearl Jam’s Long Road.

Long Road was the opening song for one of the greatest rock concerts that I have ever seen:

And the “Indian” version from the movie is just magical:

And if you have not had enough, as a bonus you could enjoy Eddie Vedder & his guru Niel Young from “Tribute to Heroes”:
