CD review: Hadar Noiberg’s excursion from the melting pot of New York to the rich tradition of Israel.
Artist: Hadar Noiberg
Title: Journey Back Home
Label: self produced
Genre: Jazz/nu Israel music
Reviewed by Matthew Rentz
For her solo album Journey Back Home the NYC based Israeli artist Hadar Noiberg draws from an eclectic array of influences. Her masterful flute work weaves a path that beckons the listener for a glimpse of her native land. Backed by the remarkably solid rhythm section of Omer Avital (double bass) and Ziv Ravitz (drums/ percussion), Noiberg is free to explore her diverse roots. Journey Back Home is a wonderful jazz album that offers the listener an excursion from the melting pot of New York to the rich tradition of Israel.

Video: Another Brick In The Wall (Hey Ayatollah, Leave Those Kids Alone!) cover!
Text by Sohrab Saadat Ladjevardi
Blurred Vision, a band of two young Iranian brothers, Sepp and Solh in Toronto used the Pink Floyed song “Another Brick in the Wall“, which was written by the great Roger Waters in 1979, as a musical-political statement to express their support for the pro-democracy movement and revolution in Iran which started in the summer of 2009 in Tehran, Iran.
The famous line, “Hey. teacher, leave us kids alone” is replaced with “Hey, Ayatollah, leave those kids alone” which was approved by Roger Waters. The video shows a mullah and the security forces chasing after and beating the young protesters in Iran. The director of the video is the Canadian/Iranian filmmaker, Babak Payami who lives in Toronto.
A great cover for a great cause! Continue reading
