Musicians

Chano Dominguez - piano
Hadar Noiberg - flute

The duo found that their approaches to music fit well together, as they both had backgrounds in jazz and classical music. Dominguez’s Spanish influences were not foreign to Noiberg, as her background in the widely eclectic music of Israel provided touchstones to the Iberian Peninsula and her own involvement with Latin American music gave her a grounding in some Latin rhythmic ideas. Further, many of the Israeli folkloric pieces that Noiberg introduced to Dominguez reminded him of holiday tunes from his native Andalusia.// After some time, the two decided that they should take their new repertoire and make a recording. They convened at Trading 8s Studios in Paramus, New Jersey and had an incredibly moving experience recording an album worth of pieces, originals and covers, arranged by the two of them.
