Eli Degibri - Twelve (2013) [Official Digital Download 24/88]

The quartet album from Israeli saxophonist Eli Degibri. - The group's pianist and bassist are 16 and 18 years of age, respectively. - “A very talented composer, arranger, and performer… the caliber of which is a rare find in jazz today. Degibri's music treads uncharted waters…” (Herbie Hancock)


- “Don’t miss him… a very modern improviser, super artful; his creations are spiky and fractured but immaculately sculptured.” (Ben Ratliff, The New York Times)

When he left Tel Aviv for Boston 17 years ago, the saxophonist Eli Degibri fed the hope to come back sooner or later at his home sharing his music with his friends. It is now done with this album 'Twelve', at Plus Loin Music, recorded beside the pianist Gadi Lehavi (piano), by the drummer, Ofri Nehemya (18 years) and beside his best friend the double bassist Barak Mori. The carefreeness of Gadi and Ofri incited Eli Degibri to reinvent a musical universe, to take new directions and numerous risks beside Barak. Gadi and Ofri’s youth, associated with the maturity and with the Barak‘s experiment and himself, is quickly became the catalyst of that groupe. Without age, the music crosses the time and, as such, Eli Degibri has the feeling to have remained a child.
