In this episode, I join jazz bassist, composer, and bandleader Omer Avital in his beautiful, intimate studio in Brooklyn, NY. Born in Givatayim, Israel, to Moroccan and Yemeni parents, Omer studied classical guitar from age 11 before eventually shifting to acoustic bass. We talk about his 1992 arrival in New York, where he shook up the city playing in groups with jazz legends Roy Haynes, Jimmy Cobb, Kenny Garrett, and Rashied Ali. We discuss his musical influences and the importance of learning about the elders and jazz masters who paved the way for him, as well as politics in the Middle East and how he views it all as an artist. Lastly we consider the Brooklyn oasis he created called Wilson Live. Founded in 2018, Wilson Live provides a platform that enables local artists to document and present their work in an easy and effective way, all while forming a musical community in the heart of the borough. Wilson Live hosts weekly musical happenings with great homemade food by its culinary curator, Yoav Adereth.https://www.omeravital.com

Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5ByvBpL... Today's Guests: “the vertiginous sensation of being both slightly behind the beat and hurtling into the next measure.” - JazzTimes on Johnathan Blake Johnathan Blake, one of the most accomplished drummers of his generation, has also proven himself a complete and endlessly versatile musician — "the ultimate modernist," as John Murph of NPR has dubbed him. Blake's gift for composition and band leading reflects years of live and studio experience across the aesthetic spectrum. Through years-long memberships in the Tom Harrell Quintet, the Kenny Barron Trio and other top ensembles, Blake has reaped the benefits of prolonged exposure to the greats of our time — arguably of all time. Through his powerful, evocative drumming and fully rounded artistry, he's also left a huge imprint on the music of such rising figures in jazz as Hans Glawischnig, Alex Sipiagin, Donny McCaslin, Avishai Cohen, Omer Avital, Patrick Cornelius, Michael Janisch, Shauli Einav, Jaleel Shaw and more. To date, Blake has appeared on over 50 albums.

Avital meets Avital è un album di incontro musicale tra il mandolinista Avi Avital e il contrabbassista e suonatore di oud Omer Avital. Il gioco dell'omonimia del cognome diviene occasione per un discorso che parte da una radice comune ai due musicisti, ossia il luogo d'origine, Israele, da cui prendono strade differenti. Classico e jazz s'incontrano, così come due strumenti di per sé contrapposti per sonorità: acuto il mandolino, grave il contrabbasso; unico elemento unificante diviene il legno, stagionato e antico. Fanno da cornice il pianoforte di Yonathan Avishai e le percussioni di Itamar Doari, che amalgamano i suoni, creano un tappeto sonoro fluttuante e armonioso.Ascolta la nota di Claudio Zonta S.I., dalla newsletter de "La Civiltà Cattolica", Abitare nella possibilità.

VIDEO: Avi Avital plays in the WQXR Café When you think mandolin, bluegrass pickers and old-timey music frequently comes to mind – Bill Monroe, Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas or Chris Thile. But when Avi Avital sat down to play in the WQXR Café, the sounds of a Bach cello suite filled the air. Then came the strong mournful strains of Ernest Bloch's Nigun, a variation on an ancient Hebrew melody written for the violin. For self-identified traditionalists of either camp – classical music or the mandolin – it's a bit of a visual and aural shock to the system. But consider that the mandolin has long had a place in classical music, from Vivaldi's concertos to music by Mozart, Beethoven, Mahler and Schoenberg, among other composers. And Avital is no traditionalist. Born in 1978 in Beersheba, a town in southern Israel, Avital is the son of Moroccan parents who immigrated to the country in the 1960s. At age eight, he heard a neighbor play the mandolin and soon convinced his mother to sign him up for lessons. His first teacher was Simcha Nathanson, a Soviet violinist who had a second career as a mandolin instructor in Israel. He started a youth mandolin orchestra which, by the time Avital joined, was 40 members strong and had two recordings to its name. “This bizarre story of a violin teacher coming to a little town in the 1970s, starting a mandolin orchestra and teaching the mandolin was always kind of an advantage for me,” said Avital. “We never looked at the mandolin as just a mandolin so we never thought of it as a limited instrument.” But after Avital graduated from the Jerusalem Music Academy, he realized that needed to expand his horizons. “I asked myself, ‘can I call myself a mandolinist without really going to Italy and searching for the origins and playing some of the original repertoire and looking into the instrument’s history?’” After military service, Avital headed to Italy, where he studied with Ugo Orlandi at the Conservatorio Cesare Pollini of Padova. Avital went back to basics, learning "all the techniques and original repertoire" and even switching from an Israeli-made instrument to an Italian one. But a pure focus on the Baroque mandolin repertoire wasn’t going to satisfy Avital either. He knew that to build a career for himself he’d need to branch out. He eventually wound up in Berlin, absorbing its eclectic arts scene while splitting his time between concertos with orchestras, recitals and collaborations like the Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Project. In 2006, he commissioned Avner Dorman's Mandolin Concerto, which was nominated for a Grammy Award and has evolved into his signature work. This month, he releases his debut on Deutsche Grammophon, an unusual recording of transcriptions of Bach's concertos for violin, flute and oboe. “The nice thing about being a mandolin player is the path I'm walking on is being constructed while I walk on it,” said Avital. “I’m trying a lot of different styles. I enjoy very much playing with orchestras. I have a jazz project with [bassist] Omer Avital and some other jazz players. I have a Balkan trio with accordion and percussion here in New York. I’m trying to keep everything very wide.” Video: Amy Pearl; Sound: Edward Haber; Production & Text: Brian Wise
