Two CDs from Eugene Marlow's Heritage Ensemble. "A Fresh Take" A contemporary remake of The Heritage Ensemble's (2006) debut album "Making the Music Our Own" finds its own personality with an intriguing, groove-laden, and freely-improvised approach wrapped in various jazz, Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, and neo-classical styles. "Celebrations" A fun and uplifting album of melodies primarily from the Jewish festivals of Chanukah and Purim.  "Celebrations," like its predecessor "Making the Music Our Own," continues The Heritage Ensemble's exploration of the performance possibilities of Hebraic melodies in various jazz, Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, and neo-classical styles.
