Composer and bassist Yosef Gutman draws from a number of realms in his brand of instrumental music. While formed in a base of classical composition, Gutman draws from jazz, bluegrass and Americana, creating a vast palette that can draw comparisons to Aaron Copland and The GOAT Rodeo sessions.
On his latest album, The World and Its People, tracks like the beautiful "Awakening" begin with melancholic piano, but bloom into a fulfilling springtime brightness as strings and guitar add gentle waves of texture to the song. It becomes a glorious tapestry of music. "My Soul Thirsts" has the piano pop elements of a Billy Joel song, but brushes it with Celtic folk chords that could place it in the Lord of the Rings score. The intricate guitar playing is a wonder of musicianship.
The album's title track swoons with its strings and coasts on light, toe-tapping rhythms. Aspects of Eastern European melodies intertwine with more classical piano parts, creating something wholly unique. Over its four minutes, the music takes you on a journey that does wonders for the soul.
Though hailing from one of the most polarizing country's in the world right now, Yosef Gutman creates music that should only bring people together. Listen to a couple of his tracks in our World Watch Playlist!
