Gilad Atzmon and the Orient House Ensemble
Gilad Atzmon and the Orient House Ensemble - Sunday 29<sup>th</sup> January
Gilad Atzmon (Saxes, Clarinet)
Frank Harrison (Piano)
Yaron Stavi (Bass)
Eddie Hick (Drums)
It’s not just the sharply barbed wit of Gilad Atzmon’s on-stage banter that makes you smile. It can also happen when he’s suddenly soaringly lyrical on the clarinet, or swerving adroitly through a Coltrane-inspired tenor sax solo, or (best of all) when the clever clockwork of the Orient House Ensemble slips into Middle Eastern gear. After ten years playing in the UK we generally agree - he’s brilliant, and he’s ours.
"Atzmon is a loose cannon: a larger than life figure with an almost overpowering musical personality... it's as perfect a jazz marriage as you could wish for"
