Sam Barsh - I Forgot What You Taught Me
- Sam Barsh’s debut album, I Forgot What You Taught Me, technically falls under jazz, but also sounds similar to trance music at times. Barsh plays keyboards and melodica on the album, with Gene Coye on drums and Gabe Noel on bass. The album’s 13 tracks have a distinctness to their melodies that allows you to distinguish one from another. The eighth track, “Between Dead and Alive,” particularly sounds unique from the others, with the introduction of what sounds like harmonica in it, as well as lower notes being played in the song. Barsh, who has written songs and also wrote a rhyming description of his new album and its sound on his Web site, shows a humorous and clever use of language in the song title, “Jew Hefner,” on I Forgot What You Taught Me. The opening track, “Welcome to Barsh’s World (Intro),” has a surprisingly laid-back sound and feel to it, but it nicely eases you into the rest of the CD. All in all, one hopes Barsh follows through on the promise of releasing more of his music implied by the closing track’s title, “Goodbye For Now (Outro).”
