Party: The Spirit of Trane: Gilad Atzmon & the OHE

Coltrane is for us, jazz at its best: an authentic creative wave of constant transformation and innovation. 'Trane is for us; first and foremost ... a spirit." - Gilad Atzmon
"Gilad’s sheer dexterity makes for some delicious, mind challenging listening" - Sammy Stein, Jazz in Europe

Marking fifty years without John Coltrane, Gilad & The Orient House Ensemble attempt to reflect upon the beauty of the man’s music. John Coltrane was the most influential tenor saxophonist in jazz history.

Gilad Atzmon is a frequent visitor to the Fleece: a larger-than-life character, he exudes fire and energy in his playing. The sound of his tenor matches his somewhat edgy presence while on soprano he is passionate and expressive.
Frank Harrison's playing has been described as “thoughtful, delicate and imbued with texture and colour” as well as “cranium-shattering in its levels of intensity" by The Guardian.
Yaron Stavi is a bassist who has performed all over the world with many musicians, playing double and electric bass and crossing genres into rock, classical, jazz and World Music.
Italian born master drummer and percussionist Enzo Zirilli has definitely paid his musical dues and has the resumé to back it up.
