Multi-instrumentalist Oran Etkins is known for digging deeply into the sounds of various eras and locations, reimagining them in his own voice. Influenced by Etkin’s cross-cultural musical collaborations, Gathering Light first came about after Etkin spent two years touring in Indonesia, Japan, China, Israel, Belgium, France, and Germany. The rich material featured in this project is inspired by the spontaneous musical exchanges Etkin experienced as well as traditional melodies and rhythms. For this Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola performance, Etkin brings some of the most distinctive and versatile musicians in contemporary jazz: bassist Ben Allison, guitarist Gilad Hekselman, and drummer Nasheet Waits.
