Making it fresh
It was a rainy Wednesday night in the Village and my friend wanted to sober up a bit before heading home to hubby, so she talked me into stopping by an old haunt, Smalls, to check out the sounds. Said this guy named Omer Avital was scheduled to play, and we stayed for two sweet sets. Melodic and fierce, with ebbs and touches of Davis' Sketches of Spain, only going a bit further south (say, into north Africa). My first exposure to this dynamo, who's plugging his new CD "The Ancient Art of Giving." Here's a couple of reviews: www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php
and cdbaby.com/cd/omer3

Omer and his group have been playing in my head ever since! I hear he's playing a few more Wed's into October. Check him out!

Enjoy,
