32nd Akbank Jazz Festival: Ofer Mizrahi Trio


The Ofer Mizrahi Trio unites the magic of ethnic melodies with a sensual musical approach, creating music that celebrates the gradual lifting of all traditional boundaries. Ofer Mizrahi is a musical wanderer who works between disciplines to discover life’s many nuances and instinctual sounds. He has designed a 24-string instrument called the Whale Guitar, which brings together both acoustic and electric sounds. In his compositions, we hear his invention accompanied by cello and double bass as they create a dialogue of unique musical inclinations, as in last year’s five-song live album. The Ofer Mizrahi Trio’s sound palette comes out of a seamless combination of Western, Turkish, and Indian music cultures with a jazz aesthetic. You can enjoy the enchanting audio experience offered by the trio at Babylon on October 5.
