This new album by Ilan Salem was created in close collaboration with pianist Nitai Hershkovits. Written entirely by the two and produced by Nitai, it marks a reunion that began in 2009 on Salem’s ‘Wild’ LP. Fifteen years later, they return alongside Barak Mori (bass), Daniel Dor (drums), and Salem’s son Hillel (trumpet), shaping 'Songs of the Willows' - an uplifting blend of classical music and spiritual jazz, delivered with elegance and depth.
