The Levantine Cultural Center is jazzed to present an evening of lively jazz groove with visiting New York ensemble TALAT, and guest star Zane Musa, a brilliant saxophone artist. One night only, not to be missed, seating is limited, we suggest reserving early.

A quartet of accomplished musicians led by Alon Nechushtan, TALAT plays original interpretations of klezmer, Middle Eastern grooves and African themes and spirituals, roaming between the borders of jazz, groove and improvisation. With piano, trumpet, saxophone, bass and percussion, TALAT offers improvised interludes, riveting solos and spontaneous team play. Combined with familiar riffs and lively rhythms, they create music that is as challenging as it is appealing. Bandleader and pianist Alon Nechushtan is a graduate of the New England Conservatory and the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance, and the recipient of numerous awards and grants. The band's debut recording on the prestigious Tzadik label earned accolades from music critics around the world. TALAT has toured in the US, Europe and the Middle East, and this is their L.A. debut.
