"...Debut album by one of the most interesting ensembles active on the burgeoning Israeli scene...These young and talented players combine their forces to create some of the most advanced and adventurous music ever played in the Holy Land..."

"…In Between leans more towards the
new music pole, but offers many adventurous and enjoyable improvised
passages. Katz is a very talented storyteller who knows how to assemble
drama, humor, sorrow, joy and optimism into thoughtful compositions. His
work is well structured, but offers plenty of personal space to all three
musicians…"

"…How much the Third Stream composers
are insane? This is a question that would be asked in a wider historical
perspective, but there are few answers we already get, while listening to
the first and the excellent album of the Chameleon Trio- "In Between"…"
Asher Kesher- "Kol Hazman" newspaper
"…What is most alarming about the
group's debut, In Between, is the range of emotions that it explores. Katz's
compositions are witty and ingratiating, and the players clearly have a
sense of humor…In Between is a beautiful, deeply felt work. Unlike the
animal that bears its name, the Chameleon Trio is destined to stand out from
the crowd, both in Israel and abroad…"
Brad Glanden, "All About Jazz" (www.allaboutjazz.com) Press for full review
"…This album is neither an alibi nor a
report. It's an art of music presented to the listener by Chameleon Trio…
Fiery enthusiasm with original ideas and fresh interpretations make the
music live and breathtaking… "
Michael Feldman, "Sabres" radio station (www.sabresradio.co.il)
"The Chameleon Trio, "In Between."
This new album by flautist Dvir Katz, clarinetist Nitai Levi and bassist Ora
Boasson-Horev illuminates an important aspect of what is happening in
Jerusalem's jazz scene… The Chameleon Trio's complex music can be
categorized as "third stream," a combination of jazz and classical music,
and as might be expected, it has a serious, even ponderous element.
Fortunately, this is well-balanced by captivating demonstrations of humor,
playfulness and joy"
