This show took place on April 20, 2012. See what’s coming up at The Jazz Room.
Based in Brooklyn and Toronto, guitarist and composer Avi Granite delivers pure flavor in the form of a quartet. His originals can move seamlessly from guitar solos to driving kit and evocative horn blends.
“”Avi Granite and his serpentine guitar, half-intellect, half-instinct, fatten up a whole new jazz sound… The music is at once cerebral and playful, unpretentious despite its backward cannonball jumps off the experimental diving board.” – Downbeat Magazine
“Thick ensemble work, strong shape-changing melody narratives, diverse textural colour and a kind of loose togetherness…” – CODA, 2008
Avi’s free jazz is solidly musical and constantly in flux – check out 78 and the Listen section at avigranite.com.
