about

Le contrebassiste le plus attachant de la scène new-yorkaise présente « New York Paradox », le second disque de son groupe Qantar. Dans son nouveau QG de Brooklyn, Wilson Live!, Omer Avital a réuni la crème de la nouvelle vague du jazz israélien expatriée à New York, dont il est, depuis trois décennies, l’un des chefs de file. À la tête de ce groupe explosif à deux saxophones qui prend des allures de Jazz Messengers de la Méditerranée, le contrebassiste signe un disque inspiré par ses amours tumultueuses avec la Grosse Pomme, moderne et vibrant, généreux et bluesy, fortement enraciné dans la tradition du jazz tout en laissant ressortir ses influences orientales. Irrésistible !

The most captivating bass player of the New York scene presents "New York Paradox", the second album of his band Qantar. In his new Brooklyn headquarters, Wilson Live!, Omer Avital, brought together the best from the new wave of Israeli jazz musicians living in New York, which he has been leading for 30 years now. At the head of the explosif band with two saxophones that remind us of a Mediterranean version of the Jazz Messengers, the bass player puts out a record inspired by his tumultuous love for the Big Apple. Modern and vibrant, generous and bluesy, strongly rooted in the jazz tradition while letting his oriental influences out. Irresistible !

A joint release of jazz&people (Paris, France) & Zamzama Records (New York, USA)
