Rimona Francis - Rimona Francis (1978/2015) [Official Digital Download 24/88]

With her Bulgarian background, Israeli singer and pianist Rimona Francis feels at home with the complexities of East European and Middle Eastern rhythms and melodies as well as jazz and modern classical, which she utilizes to great effect on this debut self-titled album. Recorded in 1977, Francis invited three top-flight New York musicians, Polish saxophonist Leszek Zadlo and Dutch keyboardist Jasper van’t Hof to complete the group.
