It's twenty years since Gilad first landed in Britain and since then, he's made a huge impact as a composer and saxophonist. This concert celebrates his best-known group Orient House Ensemble (Frank Harrison, Eddie Hick & Yaron Stavi), with friends including the Sigamos Quartet led by Ros Stephen, Sarah Gillespie, Asaf Sirkis, Jennifer Bennett and Yair Avidor.
They will be joined by two very special guests - the legendary Wilko Johnson, who will be playing a few numbers to close the show, and Norman Watt-Roy, Gilad's compadre in The Blockheads.
“Atzmon’s spirit and soul inhabit every one of his compositions, and his playing is truly exceptional” All About Jazz
