World-class international guitar trio

This summer, the fantastic guitarist Gilad Hekselman returns to Denmark, bringing his trio consisting of Rick Rosato and Jonathan Pinson, who, without doubt, will deliver a riveting concert and unforgettable experience.

The three musicians have impressive resumes and have played with stars such as Waynes Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Aaron Parks, and John Scofield.

Since Gilad Hekselman was JazzDanmark's 'Artist in Residence' in 2015, where he enriched Danish musicians and album releases, he has developed his virtuosity and world-class improv to new heights.

His style is lyrical and sensitive with a mature, warm tone and a rich musicality. He has performed at most of the prestigious American jazz clubs and toured all over the world, including jazz festivals such as Montreal, North Sea, and San Fransisco. He as released four albums as a solo artist with the fifth, from which he will hopefully play some tunes, set to release fall 2018.

Gilad Hekselman was born in Israel in 1983, where he studied classical piano since age six and guitar since age nine. As a 12-year-old, he regularly performed with a band in a weekly TV show. He attended the prestigious 'Thelma Yellin School of Arts' and received scholarships to study abroad and attend classes at 'The New School in New York', where he graduated with a BFA degree in performing arts in 2008. Gilad Hekselman quickly developed a reputation for being one of the most promising jazz guitarists in New York after his arrival in 2004. Over the course of a few years, he took to the stage with some of the biggest and most prominent musicians from the vibrant New York scene, including Chris Potter, John Scofield, Jeff Ballard, Aaron Parks, and Jeff Tain Watts.  

The concert is supported by Embassy of Israel.
