Adventurer and water sports photographer, Sammy Ben Ami is in his element on the water or in the air, but White Night Tel Aviv 2010 had Sammy riding a city wave…
Riding a City Wave
Guitarist and oudist Amos Hoffman played his unique fusion of jazz and Middle Eastern music with selections from his newest release Carvings (RazDaz 2010) in historic Bialik Square, with Gilad Abro on contrabass and Ilan Salem on flute.
Going with the flow from Bialik to the corner of Allenby and the Carmel market
then on past the Breslev Hassidic Center on Shenkin
to join the nations gathered along Rothschild Boulevard
emerging near the Azrieli Towers
from his night journey, that was like crossing a bridge
into another world, where even the familiar becomes mysterious.
