Provenance is the latest release from Maya Beiser, hailed by the New Yorker as a 'cello goddess' and by the San Francisco Chronicle as 'the queen of post-minimalist cello.' the title means 'origins,' referring to both Maya's personal history and the intertwining cultural traditions that course through this stunning disc. On some selections, the rich-hued sound of Maya's cello is heard on it's own; on others, she's accompanied by Lebanese-American master musicians Jamey Haddad (percussion) and Bassam Saba (oud), with percussionist Shane Shanahan. The culminating track is a dazzling arrangement of Led Zeppelin's Kashmir for multi-tracked cello and drumkit, featuring studio legend Jerry Marotta.
