It's NOT the east-of-the-river you're probably thinking of, ..and isn't that entirely the point of this stupid blog? Here's what CDBaby.com has to say about it:
"...Nina Stern and Daphna Mor began playing together several years ago and immediately felt a unique musical bond...became especially interested in the music of Armenia and the Balkans, finding that that repertory was especially suited to their instrument. Balkan music's virtuosic rhythms and exciting tempi lend themselves to the fleet recorder, and the soulfulness of the Armenian repertory is well suited to the plaintive sound of the instrument. In "East of the River", Daphna and Nina invited their favorite musicians from New York City's classical, jazz and world music backgrounds to collaborate with them. Jazz bass player Omer Avital who has been called "the poet of the bass", composer/accordionist Uri Sharlin and percussionist Tomer Tzur each added his own unique talents and flavor to "East of the River..."
