Murray is soft-spoken and light-hearted, but his music resonates long after he has packed his bass. And two guests, in the second part.Ī few words about Murray and about Doron. And a week later, he played an afternoon session at Romagna Ready 2 Goon Bleecker Street in New York’s Greenwich Village - the food and ambiance were lovely - with sensitive, intuitive musicians: drummer Doron Tirosh and the wonderful bassist Murray Wall. I asked Felix - who is as gracious a being as he is a player - to let me know when he had a gig of his own. I had my first-ever opportunity to hear him on the closing performance at The Ear Inn on Sunday, August 20, but he was playing on a guitar not his own (an obstacle to most musicians, although I would not have known this through what I heard). And his playing breathes, as he creates a graceful balance between sound and silence. He’s not a reactionary who’s devoted his life to copying old records, so he sounds happily like himself, and in his hands the guitar is an electrified wooden sculpture that beams love to us. Young Felix Lemerle - guitarist, teacher, composer - swings easily and with a natural grace, has a deep repertoire of memorable songs, has a real respect for melody and interesting harmonies that don’t distort the original, and gets a lovely sound from his guitar.
