At the age of 35, Ari Hoenig is - without any doubt - one of the most recognized drummer of his generation. Suddendly under the spotlights with Jean Michel Pilc and Kenny Werner trios, this young prodigy imposes his style. Bert s Playground is his second album on Dreyfus Jazz. 70 minutes full of an ethereal and harmonious atmosphere where effort and virtuosity are banished. With a strong and flexible hand, Ari Hoenig gives his rhythm, the head in the clouds and the feet firmly fixed on the ground. Filled with music, this dreamer-leader , introduces new sounds to his band. Jazz is the heart of his artistic way of playing but with a personal mark full of improvised rhythms (hip-hop, funk...). A great combination of classical themes and an interpretation full of repetitive and insistent forms. A formula signed by Ari Hoenig, the sounds magician.
