On 29 March, some friends and I went to hear the British
guitar <span tabindex="-1" id=":1of.1" style=""
class="">wiz</span> Martin Taylor at the <span
tabindex="-1" id=":1of.2" style="" class="">Givatayim</span>
Theatre (<span tabindex="-1" id=":1of.3" style=""
class="">Givatayim</span> is a town adjacent to Tel-<span
tabindex="-1" id=":1of.4" style="" class="">Aviv</span>).
Martin Taylor certainly is one of the best guitarists in
the world today, and has been for a great many years, in
the class of Howard Alden, Bucky <span tabindex="-1"
id=":1of.5" style="" class="">Pizzarelli</span>, Frank
<span tabindex="-1" id=":1of.7" style="" class="">Vignola</span>
- you name them.<br>
</div>
As expected by those of us who knew him and heard him upon
his previous visit here 25 years ago (of whom I was one),
he gave an outstanding performance, first solo - a mix of
his own compositions and standards, then with that
wonderful Israeli group Swing <span tabindex="-1"
id=":1of.8" style="" class="">de</span> <span
tabindex="-1" id=":1of.9" style="" class="">Gitanes</span>.<br>
</div>
The concert started with the Israeli group performing two
originals, than Martin Taylor took the stage and kept the
audience spellbound. For the second part he was joined by
Swing <span tabindex="-1" id=":1of.11" style="" class="">de</span>
<span tabindex="-1" id=":1of.12" style="" class="">Gitanes</span>,
and together they performed some of the Quintet of the Hot
Club <span tabindex="-1" id=":1of.13" style="" class="">de</span>
France standards, to a tumultuous - well deserved ovation.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
</div>
Two days later, I joined some friends for a <span
tabindex="-1" id=":1of.15" style="" class="">SdG</span>
performance with the trumpeter Eli Preminger in Tel-<span
tabindex="-1" id=":1of.16" style="" class="">Mond</span>, a
town not far from Tel-<span tabindex="-1" id=":1of.17"
style="" class="">Aviv</span> (less than half an hour drive
from where I live). The show, mainly standards, was the last
in a series <span tabindex="-1" id=":1of.19" style=""
class="">organized</span> by the <span tabindex="-1"
id=":1of.20" style="" class="">SdG</span> bassist Oren <span
tabindex="-1" id=":1of.21" style="" class="">Sagy</span>.
We enjoyed it a lot!<br>
