To understand Yitzhak Yedid better, you have to know his biography. Born in Jerusalem in 1971 as a child of Syrian-Jewish immigrants, the multi-talented and inquisitive pianist and composer went to the United States where he studied under Ran Blake and Paul Bley before returning to Jerusalem. “I can simply draw on my most important inspirations in this way,” the 47-year-old explained his frequent changes of abode. He has lived in Brisbane, Australia, for more than a decade, but is in the multi-cultural, multi-religious city several times a year as previously.

Yitzhak Yedid succeeded in bridging the traditions of the controversial poles with a daring, but sometimes quite unsettling bridge, in which t.......
