Ehud Asherie: Welcome to New York

Ehud Asherie: solo piano

Arbors Piano Series #21

"Ehud bounces off the traditions like an exuberant boy on a trampoline, never losing his balance. Although you will hear, now and again, a Tatum flourish, some James P. Johnson chords, a fine Willie "the Lion" Smith filigree, that Cliff Jackson bass pattern, a Ralph Sutton "Charge!" or a Dave McKenna rumbling bass, the result, never synthetic, is all Ehud...Here's to Ehud Asherie, a young man with a mature artist's sensibility! His artistic world is spacious, comfortable, ever-expanding. He's having fun at the piano and he shares his pleasures with us."

—Michael Steinman, jazz writer and blogger.
