O’s Notes: Composer, producer and arranger Yotam Ben-Or plays harmonica and sings on ten jovial selections (32 minutes). Gabriel Chakarji (p) Alon Near (b) and Ofri Nehamya (d) join Ben-Or to form a core quartet that is supplemented by guest artists on half of the songs. There are also a few vocal tracks. We enjoyed the tango feel of “Astar”, the syncopated “Enyaw”, and the vibrant title track featuring strong solos around the horn. Yotam shares his passion on“Sitting On A Cloud“also brightening the path for his audience.
