  The East-West Ensemble is a unique blending of the diverse musical theme
in
  Eastern and Western cultures found in Israel today, particularly those
  intensively existing side-by-side in the Middle East.

  The group was formed in 1985 by a tremendously talented, self-taught
  musician, Yisrael Borochov, who thereby realized his vision of combining
the
  melodies and structures of the various idioms which have influenced him ;
  Jewish, Arab, Other Asian, Jazz, Rock and Western classical.

  For structure, most notable in the East-West Ensemble are the
  improvisations, customary both in jazz and in the various Asian music
  idioms.

  Borochov is a master of Jazz, Rock and Asian idioms; he plays dulcimer,
  jumbush (Turkish lute) and various percussions instruments.

  The East-West Ensemble performs to enthusiastic audiences from "east" to
  "west" all over the world : New-York, London, Tokyo, Berlin, Madrid,
France,
  SanFrancisco, Hong-Kong, Salonika etc.

  Yisrael Borochov is as diverse in his musical experience as the Ensemble
  itself. He arranges, writes and performs in Jazz, Rock Ethnic Oriental and
  Traditional music. Yisrael plays the Double-Bass, Dulcimer, percussions
and
  Jumbush - a string instrument from Turkey. He composes for theater ballet
  and film. Borochov has performed with : Stephen Mikus (Germany), Lane
  Shankar (India), Akikazu Nakamura (Japan), Harold Rubin (Israel), Mishita
  Susmu and Yasukazu Sato (Japan) and many others all over the world.

  At the "International Red Sea Jazz Festival", the "East-West Ensemble" won
  the first prize for "The Original Composition".

  In 1990, the "East-West Ensemble" received the "Histadrut Award of Art" in
  Tel-Aviv

  Imaginary


  This is the 3rd Yisrael Borochov and East-West Ensemble project to be
  recorded for an album.

  As always, Borochov turns to new ethnic sources every couple of years,
  adding the appropriate musicians to the group. This time, the content and
  inspiration come from musical cultures of Persia, Turkey, The Far East and
  mainly The Middle East.

  The Persian ney flute leads the melody while adding Turkish Jumbush,
  Kamanche, Zurna, Saz and a Cello which is played as an Eastern instrument.

  The percussion group consists of a Zarb, Darbuka, Daf, Dvayra and Tabla.

  Each instrument carries the distinct tone and character of its place of
  origin.

  The ensemble playing makes possible the surprising interplay of the
  instrument and the ethnic scales from these different cultures.
