SHALOSH - Tales Of Utopia Tour *live

In the organizer's words:

Catchy melodies paired with amazing improvisations and distinctive storytelling: Shalosh from Tel Aviv belong to a generation of jazz bands that reach a wide audience - in jazz and beyond. Their music is raw, acoustic and progressive, cheerfully contrasting styles and genres and is far too versatile to be categorized. In a classic jazz trio line-up (piano, bass and drums), Shalosh go their own way and create a unique and fascinating synthesis of influences as diverse as jazz, rock, classical, electronica, African and Middle Eastern music.

"Tales of Utopia" was released last year. An album that was created during the Covid pandemic and is dedicated to a peaceful utopia in the midst of chaotic times. "We had the time to reflect on our origins. We read stories from the Bible or the Arabian Nights and many other mythologies," says pianist Gadi. And again, it is the catchy groove and the distinctive melodies, paired with strong storytelling, that define the typical Shalosh sound. Recorded under live conditions, without headphones or amplifiers, the result is a very unique, raw and haunting dynamic.

The trio interacts at the highest level and manages without instrumental show-offs or melodic dominance. They achieve this balance through a simple trick: the ensemble is not led by one leader, but all three are equally involved. This allows them to enjoy their joint artistic development and create music without ego. Shalosh masterfully manage the balancing act of challenging themselves as musicians and artists while at the same time creating accessible and sophisticated music for a wide audience.

The story of Shalosh began in Jerusalem, where Matan Assayag (drums) and Gadi Stern (piano) founded the band "Enoma Elish". After the band broke up, the two continued their musical partnership between Israel and New York, where Gadi was living at the time. In early 2014, they decided to form Shalosh and recruited bassist David Michaeli. Since the release of their debut album "The Bell Garden" in 2014, they have left a deep mark on the international music scene.
