xpatofthemind De Brasov and Israelite are both virtuoso musicians, and this album is a great showcase of the range of their talents. There is a ton of Eastern European soul here in a creative mix of styles--jazz, fusion, electronica, classical--often in the same track. If you like avant-garde music but you also like something with a groove and some world flavor, this might be for you. Favorite track: Tour Babel.

Per Bjarne Provokation with Roberto De Brasov & Koby Israelite is one big eye open'er for me, those two top pro musicians are a joy to listen to, lay yourself down and just open your ears wide and you will understand.
Since I bought this albut I hear it at least once a week.
My deepest respect and happiness to this music is priceless, I simply love the way they do music so well. Favorite track: Nocturne No. 2.

about

Following the release of his 2018 album ‘The Rest of Now,’ acclaimed multi-instrumentalist and genre buster Koby Israelite returns to Chant Records with a collaboration featuring the virtuoso Romanian accordionist Roberto de Brasov. Crossing genres, fusing cultures and combining multiple flavors into a truly one of a kind musical punch in the face, ‘Provokation’ is like an almost out-of-control steamroller blasting a mixtape of Balkan music, jazz and metal. Featuring a haunting, funhouse rendition of Chopin’s ‘Nocturne No 2’ and the classic standard ‘If You Go Away’ reworked as a dramatic power ballad with special guest singer Annique, ‘Provokation’ electrifies from first note to last.
