[Dixielandjazz] Shai Brenner Sextet

[Marek Boym]

Hello Folks,
Below is a link to some Israeli jazz videos:

The sextet started not too long ago as "The Bechet Project."  Later it
became The French Quarter Five, and now, with a new trombonist (who
also plays with the New Orleans Fubction) - The Shai Brenner Sextet.
Shai himself was - perhaps still is - a bopper.  However, he seems to
be coming along.  At first he tended to play scales instead of music,
but it has changed.  his playing now is more in the Bechet mold that
before.  He, by the way, quotes the Israeli soprano saxophonist
Jacques Sany as his main influence on the soprano.  Worth listening.
Cheers,
Marek
