Saft

Musical jack-of-all-trades Jamie Saft is a mainstay of New York's downtown crowd, bringing to the proceedings a CV that takes in jazz instruction at the New England Conservatory of Music, stints as a pianist in two John Adams' operas, and latter-day work with both Bobby Previte's Latin for Travelers and Peter Epstein's quartet. Backed by a combo featuring guitar, percussion, vocals, and turntables, Saft commands the stage here as he plays myriad instruments on this, his second Tzadik release.

Jamie Saft and his dynamic trio presents a sparkling interpretation of the work of Bob Dylan. A lifelong Dylan enthusiast, Saft is the perfect man to take on this challenging project and his choice of compositions, spanning over four decades of activity, is as creative as the arrangements themselves. Featuring several guest vocalists including Mike Patton and Antony, this is a deep and meaningful tribute to one of the world’s greatest living songwriters, a Jew whose influence resounds in the work of several generations of pop musicians.
