O’s Notes: Introducing another musical talent from Israel: Noa Fort is a fine vocalist, pianist, songwriter and bandleader. She has been taking New York by storm since 2013. She partners with bassist Zach Lober and drummer Romen Itzik for“No World Between Us, her latest release. Josh Deutsch adds trumpet on the last three selections and vocalist Tal Gur joins them for the finale “Just Wait”. Noa’s vocal tone reminds us of Carole King with a jazzy improvisational approach. She includes “Empty Space” in her native tongue imparting a unique touch. Fort has lots of potential.
