With Everyday, Yaron Herman links up with the prestigious Blue Note label. On this album, the pianist forms a duo with percussionist and drummer Ziv Ravitz, with whom he has already frequently collaborated (most notably on the Alter Ego album, released in 2012). The disc is an opus on which Herman’s two major concerns - writing and improvisation - are used as part of a perfect dialogue with his sparring partner. Despite his evident thematic understanding and strength in improvisation, Herman came to the piano late. Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett, and Bud Powell feed this album, but Herman has also never stopped revisiting classic songs by Björk, The Police, Jeff Buckley, and Britney Spears. On Everyday, day and night are signalled by the twin totems of Alexander Scriabin and James Blake, who represent opposite, eclectic, furious passions. Passions that have rarely been as well served as on this album.
