A multi-instrumentalist who plays soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxes as well as clarinet, zurna and flutes, Israel-born Gilad Atzmon went to England in 1994 at age 30. In London the politically committed saxophonist founded his own jazz quartet, the Orient House Ensemble (OHE), that since has toured all over the world presenting a stew of "modern jazz discipline, expressionist bluster and Middle Eastern vernacular" (Financial Times). Also a prolific essayist, novelist and music producer, Atzmon is much admired as a bandleader "for sheer improvisational fireworks, quirky humour and genre-defying invention" (ejazznews.com). As a member of Ian Dury's Blockheads, Atzmon has also recorded and performed with such as Robbie Williams, Sinead O'Connor and Paul McCartney.
His latest album with the OHE, "Refuge" (TIP-888 849 2), was voted among the Top Ten Albums of the Year by British magazine Jazzwise. On All About Jazz the album was called "a brilliantly navigated combination of gentle, sensitive lyricism and precisely focused passion."
Gilad Atzmon's new album "In Loving Memory Of America" is a dedication to the home country of jazz. "For many years I considered America as my promised land", Atzmon says. "As a young jazz musician I was pretty convinced that it was just a matter of time before I'd settle in NYC. My Mecca was Downtown Manhattan, my shrine was the Village Vanguard and my holy scriptures were the old Blue Note and Prestige vinyls. My priests were named Coltrane, Bird, Cannonball, Miles, Duke, Dizzy, Bill Evans and others."
In a partly nostalgic, partly satirical, partly futuristic way, Atzmon greets America's jazz heroes with a tribute to Charlie Parker's legendary 1949 album "With Strings". Accompanied by the OHE and the Sigamos String Quartet, he re-interprets five tunes from Parker's famous recording as well as half a dozen of his own.
"Gilad Atzmon's marvelous evocation succeeds in conveying Bird's mercurial genius", says Independent on Sunday. "Like Parker, 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: the contrast between ice and fire, or the iron first in the velvet glove." |
