The 2011 Tel Aviv Jazz Festival closed on Saturday night with a late night concert featuring singer-songwriter Efrat Gosh and the Tel Aviv Jazz Orchestra conducted by Amikam Kimmelman. For Gosh, who released her third album Ah Ah Ah Ahava<\/em> in 2010, it was perhaps a homecoming of sorts, taking her back to her days at the Rimon School where she focused on jazz.<\/p>\n

A waif-like figure with a big voice, Gosh is no stranger to the stage, having experimented with acting in films and onstage in the Cameri musical\u00a0Restless Night,<\/em> yet the encounter with songs made famous by Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole and Edith Piaf led the singer to confess \u201cI want to run away.\u201d<\/p>\n

But backed by the amazing orchestra and the fresh dynamics of Amikam Kimmelman\u2019s arrangements, she dove right into the music; and by the second song \u2013 Mean to Me<\/em>, a Billie Holiday standard written by Roy Turk and Fred E. Ahlert \u2013 she was having fun with it. The Tel Aviv Jazz Orchestra has a tradition of collaborating with Israeli musicians and has hosted singers such as Shalom Hanoch and Nurit Galron. Performing with such an orchestra is a gift and a challenge for a singer \u2013 they\u2019re that good.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re so good that each one deserves to be mentioned: Saxophones – Robert Anchipolovsky, Dima Pianin, Eitan Goffman, Omri Abramov, Alan Basin; Trumpets – Yuval Peled, Doron Silashi, Gregory Rivkin, Eli Eidlin; Trombones – Idan Walish, Yonathan Volchuk, Ma’ayan Milo, Oren Frenkel; Drums – Roi Oliel; Guitar – Dekel Bor; Piano – Hod Moshonov; Bass – Simon Starr; Vibraphone & Percussion – Rami Shuler.<\/p>\n

The music brought warmth and intimacy to the large hall of the cinematheque \u2013 there was a party feel to the evening, a very classy closing party to the festival, with a tribute to jazz across three continents. The best treat of the evening was hearing Kimmelman\u2019s jazz arrangements for two songs from Efrat Gosh\u2019s recent album: Memahar Daf Hadash<\/em> (Starting a new page from tomorrow) and Ah Ah Ah Ahava<\/em> (Love). You really should have been there, but if you weren\u2019t you can still hear a clip of the last song on YouTube:
