‘The feeling in a small club quickly grows intense when Gilad Hekselman, an Israeli jazz guitarist in his mid-20s, steps up to improvise. Since arriving in New York, Mr. Hekselman has set himself roughly up in the line of Pat Metheny and Kurt Rosenwinkel, with a warm and clean guitar tone, clear articulation, crazily extended improvisational ideas…’ (New York Times).
