Gilad Atzmon Orient House Ensemble

Militant Israeli multi-saxophonist (and committed anti-Zionist polemicist), whose garrulous post-bop improvisations are cut with passionate and seditious rereadings of Arabic and Israeli folk music. Here with his acclaimed OHE, expect firecracker solos, whip smart dynamics and propulsive grooves from bassist Yaron Stavi, drummer Eddie Hick and piano ace Frank Harrison. First of two nights.
