OMER KLEIN TRIO
Omer Klein piano, Haggai Cohen Milo bass, Amir Bresler drums
Exciting jazz blending Jewish and Arab influences, by rising
star pianist Omer Klein and his New York trio. ‘Exotic yet accessible’
(Jazz Times).
Pianist Omer Klein is among the current
batch of young Israeli musicians making waves in New York. Like many of
the other artists on John Zorn’s Tzadik label he blends contemporary
jazz with traditional Middle Eastern styles. His music continuously
balances between Jewish and Arabian influences and between joy and
sadness, underlining the tensions in his native country. ‘What he plays
is exotic yet accessible and makes you feel fully alive’ (Jazz Times).
