Gilad Hekselman loves colorful harmonies, creates space-absorbing sounds. In his melodic line one can detect a poetic thoughtfulness and orientation to traditional songs. The pieces he writes float through space with ease. In Rick Rosato (bass) and Jonathan Pinson (drums) he has found fellow musicians who fill these spaces through their art of improvisation. Together they have recorded Hekselman's fifth album "Home", which they will present for the first time in Leipzig in the beautiful hall of the UT Connewitz.
Gilad Hekselman (g), Rick Rosato (kb) and Jonathan Pinson (dr)
