Avram Fefer's Big Picture Holiday - Shimmer and Melt (2015/2019)

The brainchild of NYC saxophonist Avram Fefer,Big Picture Holiday's SHIMMER AND MELT is right in line with classic funky jam-jazz like Medeski Martin & Wood, Project Logic and early Snarky Puppy, with influences ranging from Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, and Ornette Coleman to Afrobeat, Ethiopian, and Moroccan music. It is a musical globetrotter’s fresh take on dirty late­-night street jazz –­­ sophisticated, sly, and provocative... full of neon lights, shooting stars, and fleeting innuendo.
