Presented by Stroud Jazz Sessions
Gilad Atzmon is one of the UK’s finest jazz saxophonists, so it is an absolute honour to welcome him back to Stroud Jazz Sessions! He has been in the top cadre of jazz musicians for about 15 years now, playing everywhere, receiving great critical acclaim, and winning the 2003 BBC Jazz Album of the Year. Gilad plays fantastic, intelligent, powerful, muscular bebop which sings out more sweetly than almost anyone. His style is both uncompromisingly frenetic and breathtakingly elegiac, and weaves in his Middle Eastern and African influences with mainstream bop and a pinch of free.
Gilad Atzmon's live performances are a force even his albums cannot contain. And Gilad is a polymath, being a prolific and highly regarded political commentator and writer, finding time to knock out books, a daily blog, speaking engagements, and the occasional top jazz album for good measure! He’s a man not to be missed. So with such insanely great credentials, Gilad will be rocking Stroud’s catskills to the core.
Ahead of his concert, Gilad will give a talk - The Road To Bop, about his first encounter with jazz music and its impact on his ethical and philosophical stand.
