Jazz with Myriad World Music Elements
Tuesday, May 12 • 7:30 P.M.
26 year-old pianist and composer Omer Klein is the latest force
in the Israeli-New York City jazz movement. While keeping a
strong connection with the sounds of his homeland, Israel,
Klein’s compositions meld the music of Africa and the Middle
East with American Jazz. The musicians, Omer Avital (bass,
oud) and Ziv Ravitz (drums), have the kind of tribal bond that
connects people back through centuries, and the result is high
energy and virtuosic, yet melodic and accessible.
Co-sponsored by the America-Israel Cultural Foundation
