Eyal Maoz guitar, compositions · Masa Kamaguchi bass · David Xirgu drums
Known for his works with John Zorn’s Cobra and Abraxas, and for his groundbreaking bands with John Medeski, Tim Berne, and many others, Eyal Maoz is “one of the best electric guitarists to emerge from the Downtown scene over the past decade plus. Each song here gives Maoz a chance to add his magic touch, crunch, or incisive lead guitar licks while never showing off and always in favor of the song they are the center of…Wonderful, powerful in so many great ways!” (Downtown Music Gallery, 2024)
A mainstay of the NYC music scene, Maoz is notoriously known as the wild and unconventional player in the progressive jazz guitar world. He brings his new works evoking both cutting-edge rock-jazz extravaganza and chamber grace. Featuring his notorious one-of-a-kind approach to composition, his band leads us into the much-too-rarely visited junction of instrumental jazz, pop, and New York City’s cutting edge.
