Die Idee zu dieser Band entstand im Rahmen der Sitzungen zur musikalischen Gestaltung der Jüdischen Kulturtage im Rheinland. Das Motto "ANGEKOMMEN" lässt sich mit der zeitgenössischen Jazzmusik in besonders ausgeprägter Art darstellen. Der Jazz, eine ursprünglich amerikanische Musik, wurde in den USA bereits früh maßgeblich von jüdischen Musikern geprägt.
In den vergangenen Jahrzehnten dann, hat sich diese Musikrichtung zu einem wunderbar verbindenden, weltweiten Phänomen entwickelt.
Verbindend in künstlerisch-musikalischer Hinsicht, denn der Jazz grenzt keine Musikrichtung aus. Verbindend vor allem in nationaler, kultureller und menschlicher Hinsicht. Auf der internationalen Jazzszene gibt es schon längst, eine Normalität im Zusammenleben und Arbeiten aller Kulturen.
So arbeiten auch in diesem Ensemble vier Musiker verschiedenster Herkunft zusammen.
• Der in Israel geborene jüdische Saxophonist Ohad Talmore, der seine Jugend in Europa verbracht hat und nun in New York lebt.
• Der deutsche Gitarrist Axel Fischbacher. Einer der bedeutendsten Protagonisten der zeitgenössischen europäischen Jazzgitarre
• Der in Mazedonien geboren Bassist Martin Gjakonovski, der nun seit langem in Deutschland lebt.
• Der uramerikanische, jüdische Schlagzeuger Adam Nussbaum. Einer der bedeutendsten Protagonisten des "Contemporary Jazz"
Die gemeinsame Sprache: Der Jazz. Eine Kunstrichtung in der Verschiedenheit zur Qualität wird.

Ohad Talmor
Now American, Ohad is originally from Israel but grew up in Switzerland and is long time Brooklyn NY resident.

Talmor’s other projects include the Steve Swallow Trio (featuring Adam Nussbaum) and Mass Transformation – a Nonet featuring Austria’s Spring String 4tet, singer Judith Berkson, Pete McCann, Shane Endsley, Mark Ferber focusing on the Music of Anton Bruckner.
Talmor also plays with Jason Moran, Josh Redman,Fred Hersh, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Chris Cheek, Dave Douglas, Carla Bley, Joe Lovano, Chris Potter, Billy Hart and many others, most of whom do not have major recording contracts, which is just as well.
Talmor has a privileged relationship with his old friend and mentor Lee Konitz, with whom he co-leads three projects: the Lee Konitz New Nonet, the Konitz-Talmor String Project and the Konitz-Talmor Big Band.

His music has been performed by various Jazz ensembles all over the world, including: Portugal's OJM Big Band, Switzerland’s Big Band de Lausanne, Brazil’s SoundScape Orquestra, the Brecker Brothers, Steve Swallow 6tet “L’histoire du Clochard” or Belgium’s Bruxelles Jazz Orchestra.
His contributions in the Classical idiom include music for pianist Martha Argerich, Sao Paulo's Symphonic Band, the Spring String Quartet from Austria or Portugal National Orchestra. Ohad's latest Composition is a Concerto for Piano/Drums and Double Orchestras premiered in February 2010 by the Porto National Orchestra, the OJM Big Band and Jason Moran and Dan Weiss as featured soloists.
Ohad Talmor holds a Composition Degree from the Manhattan School of Music, now deeply buried in a trunk in his basement.
