Since leaving the Middle East, soprano saxophonist and clarinettist Gilad Atzmon is making waves in larger venues and concert halls throughout Europe. His Music is a fascinating cultural hybrid: a mixture of World, Balkan, Arabic and Jewish influences within a jazz idiom. Celebrating his fiftieth birthday year and twenty years in the UK, Gilad Atzmon with the Orient House Ensemble present their latest album, Songs From the Metropolis, a musical odyssey around the globe. Taking in Tel Aviv, Buenos Aires, Moscow, and all points in between, with his trademark blend of middle-eastern influences and a powerhouse bop style, Atzmon's performances promise a riotous blend of energy, wit and humour.
