Taking on board a bassist as exceptional as John Patitucci (Chick Corea, Wayne Shorter), guitarist Yotam Silberstein’s new album is like a great voyage, which draws inspiration from a multitude of musical traditions. Alternating the accordion and piano of the Brazilian prodigy Vitor Gonçalves and the piano and Fender Rhodes of the rising star of the New York City jazz scene Glenn Zaleski, his quartet—completed by the Israeli drummer Daniel Dor (ex-Avishai Cohen Trio)—forges a nomadic and virtuoso repertoire, with stopovers in numerous territories and with a predilection for South America, Brazil in particular. Vibrant and inspired, “Future Memories”, in his own words the most personal recording of Yotam Silberstein’s career, reveals itself to be like a series of windows open onto the beauties of the world and the memory of the emotions they evoke in each of us. A profound and majestic album, by one of the major guitarists on the international scene today.
