Hearts wide open

CD Hearts wide open Gilad Hekselman

"Since arriving in New York five years ago, Mr. Hekselman has set himself roughly up in the line of Pat Metheny and Kurt Rosenwinkel, with a warm and clean guitar tone, clear articulation, crazily extended improvisational ideas, and the flexibility to go wherever his bands want..." Ben Ratliff, NEW YORK TIMES
Gilad's third album is a masterful exploration of the contrast and coexistence of simplicity and depth. Comprised of simple, singable melodies, these ten new pieces, even with their complex rhythms and harmonies, breathe a certain air of familiarity. An entirely original sound, brilliantly played with precision and great feel by one of the finest groups of jazz artists on the NY jazz scene today.
