Synopsis

Album Description
Led by electric guitar virtuoso Yerachmiel Altizio, Merkavah (a mystical kabbalistic chariot) is a blend of Jam Band improvisation and melodies from the Lubavitch Chabad movement. This musical experience marries the frenetic energy of a rock concert with the joyous fervor of Hasidic expression. From Crown Heights, home of the Lubavitch movement, Merkavah navigates the sonic straights linking Chabadniks and Phish-heads, playing festivals, Chabad houses and clubs to the delight of all. Their common appreciation is likely spiritual, and that's by design. In the Kabbalistic tradition, the band's namesake is the metaphoric meditational chariot used journey inward to the soul and greater understanding and the revelation of the glory of G-d. Aptly named, Merkavah is the soundtrack of that journey.
 

CD Reviews

Promising, promising......

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I have great faith that this young man will go far. I would love to see him stretch a bit more and increase the uniqueness in his talents. He is a skillful guitar player and I would like to hear him slow down a bit, play with more passion and add more instruments to give his recordings a "fuller feeling." He is capable of becoming more than just an observant Jew, playing at weddings and bar mitzvahs. I can see him evolving into more than that."
