Black Diamond Trio – Black Diamond Trio Music CD
Shipping calculated at checkout (typically $7.99)
Recorded at the intersection of the Israeli folk scene and the cosmic folk-rock currents drifting through the late 1970s, this self-titled debut sat quietly out of reach for decades, circulating only among dedicated crate-diggers willing to pay serious money for an original pressing. The involvement of the Israel Philharmonic strings gives the record a lush, cinematic sweep that sets it apart from its contemporaries on either side of the Atlantic.
An ethno-pop/psyche rarity, the Black Diamond Trio's 1979 self-titled album centers around an Israeli trio composed of Avner Zadok (guitar, vocals), Miri Mor (vocals), and Richard Peritz (guitar, vocals) backed by bass, drums, flute, and aided by the string section of Israel's Philharmonic orchestra. The flavor here is mellow psychedelia with the group singing in both Hebrew and English, with excellent musicianship from all involved. Black Diamond was the nickname of a young major in an Israeli intelligence unit who introduced Peritz to the well know Israeli songwriter Zadok, which led to this trio being formed. Original copies of this unusual LP sell for hundreds of dollars, making it exceedingly rare. At long last, this unique album has been newly remastered and finally made available again.
