Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 2015 on the Tiger label, 'Heritage (Or How To Choose A Hat)' is the fourth installment in Benjamin Koppel’s ambitious 'Breaking Borders' series. The project was conceived as a cross-cultural musical dialogue, intended to bridge the gaps between disparate jazz traditions and classical sensibilities. By bringing together the Danish saxophonist Koppel, American pianist Uri Caine, Syrian clarinetist Kinan Azmeh, and percussionist John Hadfield, the record explores themes of identity, migration, and the synthesis of global musical heritages.

The album’s design and conceptual framework reflect the broader ethos of the Breaking Borders project, which prioritized improvisation and collaborative interplay over rigid structure. The title itself serves as a poetic meditation on the complexity of legacy and individual choice. Upon its release, the record was noted by critics for its sophisticated blending of Middle Eastern melodies with contemporary jazz, earning recognition for its seamless integration of technically demanding performances with a highly atmospheric, meditative soundscape.
