Eli Degibri

The Red Sea Jazz Festival, www.redseajazzeilat.com, is proud to announce the appointment of saxophonist, composer and Anzic Records recording artist, Eli Degibri, as joint Artistic Director (with Mr. Dubi Lenz). Established in 1987 as a four-day international jazz festival, the Red Sea Jazz Festival now enters its 26th year under the direction, and in the capable hands of Degibri and Lenz.

Degibri commented on the personal significance of the appointment, “I was honored and humbled to be appointed as artistic director of the Red Sea Jazz Festival. It feels like such great closure to me: when I was a kid I attended the festival countless times and listened to many of my musical idols. To think that today I have the privilege of curating the Festival’s program, and maybe even influence younger generations, makes me very proud!” Continue reading →

Josh Ginsburg, Zembla Variations

Brooklyn-based bassist and composer Josh Ginsburg is one of the most sought-after players on the New York jazz scene. He has performed and recorded across Europe, Asia, and the Americas with some of the greatest musicians of our time. Throughout Josh’s bass playing with many different artists, certain qualities emerge as constants: a beautiful tone, a powerful rhythmic sensibility, a mastery of the musical language, and the open-hearted spirit of a true improviser.

In addition to his international career as a sideman, Josh is also an emerging force as a bandleader and composer. Along those lines, Josh is proud to announce the release of his debut recording of all original compositions, Zembla Variations, featuring the amazing band of Eli Degibri on saxophone, George Colligan on piano, and Rudy Royston on drums. The album will be released by Brooklyn Jazz Underground Records on February 7, 2012. On this stunning recording Josh seeks new areas of unexplored musicality, yet he also brings to his music a deep love for our shared musical traditions of melody and song, rhythm, and drama.

Eli Degibri - Israeli Song

Eli Degibri -][- Israeli Song – [ANZIC RECORDS, 2010]

On Israeli Song, rising star Eli Degibri brings together two of his mentors, jazz legends Ron Carter on bass and Al Foster on drums, with one of today’s most innovative pianists Brad Mehldau.

On this recording Degibri displays his talents as both a gifted composer and a dazzling and fluid performer. From intricate bop excursions to delicate, swinging ballads, Degibri and his all star quartet play with a near telepathic chemistry.

By not only paying tribute, but actually playing with his inspirations, Degibri has achieved many a jazz musicians dream and has created a modern day masterpiece
