  • Back-To-Back / AVITAL MEETS AVITAL / Concert #1

    Avi Avital – mandolin
    Omer Avital – bass
    Itamar Doari – percussion
    Yonathan Avishai – piano

    The classical mandolin player Avi Avital meets an equally brilliant partner in the jazz bassist and composer Omer Avital. Avital Meets Avital is the fruit of an intensely creative musical conversation that draws on their divergent paths and shared Jewish Moroccan roots. Their album released by Deutsche Grammophon. The two musicians are brilliantly accompanied by Yonathan Avishai (piano) and Itamar Doari (percussion). Together with the jazz bassist Omer Avital, the classically trained star mandolinist sets out to find “home” – and discovers sounds and rhythms he has never incorporated into his music before. The resulting compositions from both Omer Avital and Avi Avital are touching reflections of the lyrical variety and intense emotions the two musicians uncovered in their journey into their shared past, in a creative blend of Moroccan beats, Israeli harmonies, a classical sensibility and jazz improvisation
