Recorded at Orange Music Studio in West Orange, New Jersey, by James Dellatacoma.
Guitarist Jon Madof, known for his work with Zion80 and Rashanim, leads a compact trio with bassist Yoshie Fruchter and drummer Nate Rappaport on *Netzach*, a forceful set of original compositions that brings Jewish melodic language into contact with surf guitar, jazz improvisation, post-rock, punk and metal. Percussionist Moshe Sobol joins the opening track, adding another layer to an already expansive trio sound.
The stripped-down instrumentation places Madof's guitar at the center, moving from clean, lyrical lines and finger-picked passages to heavily distorted riffs and surging improvisation. Fruchter and Rappaport provide a responsive foundation that can shift quickly between open space, tightly articulated grooves and heavier rhythmic drive, allowing the music to move naturally between introspection and intensity. Pieces such as "The Beautiful Six" build gradually from delicacy into distortion, while "Urim" offers a quieter counterweight and "A Pure Heart" closes the album with a more relaxed, blues-inflected feel.
Drawing on the Radical Jewish Culture language Madof has developed over more than two decades, *Netzach* condenses the breadth of his larger ensemble work into a direct and flexible power-trio setting, balancing melodic clarity with abrasive textures, rhythmic momentum and improvisational freedom.

He started on trombone at a young age before switching to guitar in his teens. A love of classic rock first fueled his passion for music, which gave way to an obsession with jazz when he attended Oberlin College. After finishing school, he moved back to Philadelphia to study with jazz guitarist Jimmy Bruno. There he met bassist Michael Taylor, and the two formed the Taylor/Madof Group, exploring improvised music with roots stretching from funk to the avant-garde. In 2000, Jon and his wife moved to Brooklyn, where he formed Rashanim and began working with other NYC musicians." ^ Hide Bio for Jon Madof • Show Bio for Nate Rappaport "Nate Rappaport is a drummer and composer whose work thrives on blending mystical teachings, cultural rhythms, and a deep connection to nature and the divine.
