Distributed by MRM Music, This is Izzy’s second album. Izzy started his musical career in the IDF Rabbincal Army Band under the leadership of Mona Rosenblum. This is Izzy’s second album and it’s full of great surprises. In addition to his original compositions, Izzy has recorded his own versions of Reb Chaim Bannet’s “Ko Amar,” adding a jazz touch to it, and Eli Gerstner’s (YBC) “Kol Hamitpalel,” in which he experiments with beatboxing and scat singing. There are also gems that can be sung easily like “Hamavdil,” “Ashira LaHashem,” and “A Tribute to Reb Shlomo” (i.e., Carlebach). With the help of Izzy’s musical partner Heshy Rosenwasser, “Song for Jerusalem” and “Uncork the Bottle” are particularly outstanding. The songs have insightful lyrics and fantastic brass playing arranged by Izzy himself and performed by Danny Flam. This is another fun, original, and creative album where there is something for everyone.
