Orthodox & Avant-Garde: Yoshie Fruchter's Pitom
Category :: Concert
Export to My Calendar
Bridging the worlds of the Orthodox and Avant-Garde, Yoshie Fruchter's acclaimed musical project Pitom draws on some of the hottest New York talents.
Pitom is one of those galactic events that has a one-in-a-gazillion chance of happening. This hybrid kind of music could only come from a culture known for wandering. The soundtrack to being lost in the desert for 40 years. Yoshie Fruchter and his erstwhile collaborators in Pitom have already set the New York City ablaze with their on-stage presence, and this -- the first document of their remarkable presence on the planet -- is a beautiful and caustic warning to the rest of the world.
"More than most of the jazz-punk bands on John Zorn's Tzadik label, Brooklyn's Pitom understands that rocking is something you can't annotate... Pushing the whole thing through the scales and melodies of frontman Yoshie Fruchter's Jewish heritage--if any band can walk the talk of the word "radical" in the phrase "Radical Jewish Music," it's these guys. Fruchter is equal parts seminary school, jazz school, and Nirvana's "School," doing the same for heavy metal that Zorn's Masada did for free-jazz."
