Meininger Trio Memories

On May 12 and 13 in 2002, Elvin Jones recorded his last album with his older brother Hank along with bassist Richard Davis as The Great Jazz Trio. Hank Jones wrote liner notes for Collaboration entitled "Elvin, my brother." An excerpt: "They say, ‘The Good Die Young.’ I Agree. Thad and Elvin did. They dedicated their lives to what they loved and believed in, even if that meant shortening their lives. As a family member, I sometimes wonder if we could have done less and stayed together as a family longer. On the other hand, I wholeheartedly respect Elvin’s desire to live out his life (playing). Today’s music world would not exist without him. The fact that he was a great drummer who influenced all those who came after him will forever remain in records and people’s memories".

"Trio" is the unbelievable collaboration between music legends, Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris. This multi-Platinum release topped Billboard’s Top Country albums and reached #6 on the Billboard 200. It includes the standouts, “To Know Him Is To Love Him”, “Wildflowers” and “Those Memories Of You”. It was nominated for Album of the Year and won the GRAMMY for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.

Taking on board a bassist as exceptional as John Patitucci (Chick Corea, Wayne Shorter), guitarist Yotam Silberstein’s new album is like a great voyage, which draws inspiration from a multitude of musical traditions. Alternating the accordion and piano of the Brazilian prodigy Vitor Gonçalves and the piano and Fender Rhodes of the rising star of the New York City jazz scene Glenn Zaleski, his quartet completed by the Israeli drummer Daniel Dor (ex-Avishai Cohen Trio) forges a nomadic and virtuoso repertoire, with stopovers in numerous territories and with a predilection for South America, Brazil in particular. Vibrant and inspired, “Future Memories”, in his own words the most personal recording of Yotam Silberstein's career, reveals itself to be like a series of windows open onto the beauties of the world and the memory of the emotions they evoke in each of us. A profound and majestic album, by one of the major guitarists on the international scene today.
