About
Since his explosive debut with piano icon Herbie Hancock’s band, the scintillating Israeli saxophonist Eli Degibri has become one of the most in-demand instrumentalists in jazz, working alongside veteran greats including Clark Terry, Jimmy Heath, Eric Reed and the Mingus Big Band. He’s recorded five superb CDs as a leader or co-leader, each showcasing his own eclectic compositions and re-imagined standards. His latest, Israeli Song, features a legendary rhythm section including pianist Brad Mehldau, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Al Foster. Degibri’s 2006 release, One Little Song, is a duet session with the masterful pianist Kevin Hays, who joins him again for this SFJAZZ date....
