Bill & Murray started as an experimental collaboration between David Blau (guitar and vocals) and Stella Gotshtein (keyboard and vocals). They quickly turned into an active, performing and recording band, with Ran Jacobovitz joining the lineup on drums in 2013. In the past 3 years, the trio has performed all over Israel, participated in international music festivals in North America and Europe, touring in East European and has had the pleasure of being chosen to be the opening act for legendary synth pop artist, Gary Numan. A New Kind of High was written, performed, produced, recorded and mixed by Gotshtein and Blau over the course of two years and mastered by JJ Golden (Devendra Banhart, Calexico).
The nine tracks on “Axel Tosca,” touch on musical flavors, a virtual culinary tour of Latin America, Africa, Asia and American funk rhythms. In addition to the stellar special guests, featured performers, include Grammy-winning artist Luques Curtis; Axel’s mother, Xiomara Laugart; vibraphonist Felipe Fournier of the band Super Mambo; Keyon Harrold on trumpet; drummers Dana Hawkins and Skoota Warner; Max Cudworth on alto sax; guitarist Michael Valeanu; Tamer Pinarbasi on the Turkish string Qanun or Kanun; and singers Melanie Charles and Natalie Guillaume. It’s a powerful, larger than life line up and Axel has given each performer a meaty chunk of music to conquer while corralling them into working together in perfect harmony.
