Third World Love began in 2002 in Barcelona for a one-time tour that instantly developed into a unique brotherhood, co-led by the “strikingly talented” (Entertainment Weekly) Omer Avital on bass, trumpeter Avishai Cohen, a gifted improviser whose “nu-bop aesthetic glances around the globe to see what rhythms can be added to the formula” (Village Voice), Daniel Freedman, whose “drumming retains a sumptuous authenticity, as if he learned everything from the dusty street of some South American or African urban center” (Modern Drummer), and pianist Yonatan Avishai, who has been hailed by the Israeli magazine Ha’ir as a “genius pure and simple.” Can’t join us in person?
