U.S.A., Israel
The young generation listens to him and tries to emulate his sound. The New York Times compared him to guitar giants Path Metheny and Kurt Rosenwinkel. The “guitar hero” of New York’s jazz scene, Gilad Hekselman built his reputation with his own fingers and a lot of hard work. He is now reaping the rewards, playing with the greatest artists and performing at the world’s most important festivals, including just recently at the Newport Jazz Festival
At his solo performance in the Jerusalem Jazz Festival, Hekselman will play original music and covers of American and Israeli pop and rock songs, improvising everything but the set list, giving us a unique, memorable opportunity to be in the moment, with him.
