GILAD WITH STRINGS 

In this stunning performance the outstanding jazz saxophonist Gilad Atzmon pays a special tribute to Charlie Parker, performing new adaptations of music from the legendary Charlie Parker With Strings album.

The Gilad Atzmon Quartet together with the Sigamos String Quartet perform classics such as Just Friends, Everything Happens to Me, April in Paris, I Didn’t Know What Time It Was and If I Should Lose You, as well as specially composed new works. 

Over the years Gilad Atzmon's music has moved more and more towards 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. Gilad's live performances are simply breathtaking and overwhelming.

“Maybe because he's such a wild card himself, saxophonist Atzmon plays Charlie Parker with a perfect mix of bluster and vulnerability.”  The Independent 

“A delightful evening of artfully crafted music that was rich with emotional complexity… Atzmon followed in Parker’s footsteps with confidence… the well-tempered, note-perfect Sigamos String quartet shifting through romance, irony and despair on the point of a pin…”  Financial Times 

“It's as perfect a jazz marriage as you could wish for” Independent on Sunday
