About the event
The prestigious Jazz Dock Club will again host top quality Roma jazz musicians. This year it will be The Mediterranean Gypsy Swing Experience from Israel.
The origin of Roma musicians itself raises curiosity. Even though Israel does not belong to the typical “suppliers” of gypsy jazz, the combination of Roma music and Yiddish music results in a unique sound of the band. The fact itself that a clarinet is present in this quartet, which does not appear in the conservative gypsy swing bands, is the guarantee of the band’s originality.
The band leader is excellent double bassist Oren Sagi, the founder of the well-known Swing e Gitanes band. However, he is currently fully involved in this new music grouping. Other members of the band include his brother, guitar player Alon Sagi, supporting guitar player Dror Shimoni , and violinist cum clarinetist Yonatan Miller.
A non-traditional concept of traditional jazz – you should not miss it!
