Longtime Dubway-affiliated artist, composer, and all-around excellent musician Dave Soldier recently put out the excellent album Zajal on his Mulatta Records imprint, available here. And here’s an entertaining sample.

Soldier’s album is a massive ensemble affair, recorded with Dubway engineers Sam Palumbo and Diego Demarco and painstakingly overdubbed and assembled with a cast of skilled and adventurous musicians too long to list here.

Reviews for Zajal, which help do it more justice than we can, can be found here, here, and here.

“A fusion listen of the highest degree, Soldier has dabbled in countless genres in lengthy career, including blues, R&B and punk, but here he’s outdone himself on the first truly fascinating record of 2020 where klezmer, flamenco and Greek ideas, to name a few, are part of inimitable formula.“

Congratulations to Dave and the many many players and personnel involved!
