Gilad Atzmon

A formidable stage presence with a deeply personal voice on his instrument, Gilad tonight renews his association with house band Just East — a friendship that extends over many years starting with his guest appearance on live album More than Four.

Over the years Gilad Atzmon’s music has moved increasingly toward a cultural hybrid. As a bandleader and reed player he has been amazing his listeners with his powerful personal style that combines great bebop artistry and Middle-Eastern roots in a sophisticated, sometimes ironical manner. Influenced by Coltrane’s powerful approach on the sax, Gilad’s live performances are simply breathtaking and overwhelming.
