We are pleased to announce that Alon Yavnai's album Travel
Notes is now in stores! The album is ObliqSound's 10th release in our instrumental series and we couldn't be prouder.
Travel Notes is now available nationwide in the USA and Canada, and worldwide on iTunes (with a
digital exclusive bonus track). CD release in Europe and other territories is set for September.
Travel Notes is a musical diary of pianist
Yavnai's life as a touring musician with a multi-national upbringing,
including influences from his culture from Israel, travels in Cape
Verde, Angola, and Brazil. Melding solo piano with a trio combination
featuring stand-out members Omer Avital on bass and oud and Jamey Haddad on percussion, the album is an intimate
and personal songbook with international flavors.
To learn about this Grammy-winning artist and his debut solo album, read more on ObliqSound.com. Like what you hear? Come see

Critics love Travel Notes!
"On this impressive trio outing with bassist Omer Avital and percussionist Jamey Haddad, [Yavnai] explores a
multi-faceted dreamworld that delivers on multiple levels."
-Global Rhythms, June 2008
"A heartfelt mix of jazz, African rhythms, and Latin harmonies, the record is a testament to Yavnai's
formidable command of the piano, and his affinity for polythythmic group interplay...It is a bold musical statement, but not unexpected from the
fiery
artist who won first place in the '96 Great American Jazz Piano Competition."
-Keyboard Magazine, May 2008
"...a complex transcultural stew"
-Downbeat, February 2008
