Big Picture Holiday: Shimmer
Big Picture Holiday: Shimmer and Melt is the powerful new weapon in the musical arsenal of saxophonist and bandleader Avram Fefer. With influences ranging from Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, and Ornette Coleman to Afrobeat, Ethiopian, and Moroccan music, Shimmer and Melt features a dark and funky brilliance that shines forth from the very first notes. It is a musical globetrotterās fresh take on dirty lateĀnight street jazz āĀĀ sophisticated, sly, and provocative... full of neon lights, shooting stars, and fleeting innuendo.

--
āArt is the conversation between lovers.Ā
Art offers an opening for the heart.Ā
True art makes the divine silence in the soulĀ
break into applause.Ā
Art is, at last, the knowledge ofĀ
where we are standing;Ā
where we are standingĀ
in this wonderlandĀ
when we rip off all our clothesā¦.āĀ
