Roy Mor: The album “After the Real Thing”- Jazzy Hour, September 21st, 2021

Today we're first going to delight in the vividvibration of jazz that emerges from the piano swing and Eastern influences from composer Roy Mor's country of origin. His personal album encompasses them both, each piece representing a distinct musical statement. "After the Real Thing" is innovativeand very accessible, especially since the instruments havea very well-defined place in the musical composition. It makes us feel the pleasure of those involved in its production to meet, rehearse and record, to take each detail one by one before bringing it forward, perfectly aware that it is going to stay like that forever. Great musicians work on any album with the enthusiasm of its first release, and this is why this record is suitable for those who would like to initiate in jazz, but still don't know what to begin with. Roy Mor's lyricism reminds us of Ahmad Jamal and Lennie Tristano, sustaining the improvisation with the blues scale and the oriental musical ornaments, which are different, yet associated with good taste. "After the Real Thing" wins a spot in our collection of new delightful music, that we share with many people.
