Album Notes

Hailed by the New York Times for his “dazzling improvisations” YOUSIF SHERONICK appears internationally as soloist and chamber musician with world-renowned groups and artists such as Philip Glass, Ethos Percussion Group, Glen Velez, Foday Musa Suso, Simon Shaheen, Henry Threadgill and Paul Winter Consort. Mr. Sheronick's unique style encompasses traditions and instruments from the Middle East, North and West Africa, Brazil, India, and Europe. His ability to work in such diverse genres is due to having studied contemporary classical, jazz, world and rock music, which he seamlessly fuses into his playing. Critics in Spain say Yousif “is capable of creating hypnotic atmospheres” (Mundoclasico) where he "transported the listener to another dimension." (Ritmic). Prestigious venue performances include Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Royal Festival Hall (London) and Wigmore Hall (London). Distinguished collaborators include Yo-Yo Ma, Branford Marsalis, Pandit Samir Chatterjee, Marcel Khalife, Sonny Fortune, and the Lark and Pacifica String Quartets.

REVIEWS

Great blend of traditional percussion and modern world music.
author: Mike Morin
This disc does an excellent job of combining traditional mid-east percussion with modern trends of world music. Mr. Sheronik demonstrates an ability to perform at the "drummers' drummer" level in a context that features great music presented in a listener friendly manner. Great, original concepts, excellent production values, informative liner notes....I LOVE THIS DISC!

Mr. Sheronick leaves nothing to be desired of this album, whether speaking of musicianship, composition, production quality, or liner information. A diverse palate of thoroughly enjoyable music.
