Originally hailing from Kibbutz Yakum in Israel and now based in New York City, drummer and composer Eden Har-Gil is an exciting new artist in the sphere of contemporary jazz. Influenced by the works of artists like Lenny White, Billy Drummond and Horacee Arnold, he brings a fresh perspective to the style, fusing tradition with innovation to create a sound that’s entirely his own.
Since his moving to the USA in 2018, Har-Gil has been making an impact in the jazz world, collaborating with a diverse array of international musicians and developing his own sound under the mentorship of renowned jazz talents. His versatility and originality shine through in his performances, as he cuts across a variety of styles and influences with finesse.
Late last year, Har-Gil introduced audiences to his musical vision with his debut single, “Leaf,” a delicate instrumental piece that showcased his skilful drumming and emotive composition. Now, ahead of his upcoming debut record titled Hearts of Palm, set to drop later this month, Har-Gil shares his new single titled “Nethermead,” released via Berlin-based pioneering jazz imprint XJAZZ! Music.
On his new single, Eden links up with the talents of saxophonists Caroline Davis and Lo Wood as well as legendary bassist Dezron Douglas who all bring their own sonic flair to Eden Har-Gil’s charming sound. With “Nethermead,” Eden captures the energy of Brooklyn’s Prospect Park via a lively jazz instrumental outing brimming with bouncy rhythm, playful melodic leads and a subtle Latin twist.
Jumping straight in with the split sax tones riding the soft patter of building percussion, the track instantly shines with upbeat instrumental flutters and grooving energy. Eden’s slick drum performance injects intricate fills as Dezron’s bass plucks infuse the rhythm with warm tones.
With stunning musicianship panache throughout, the saxophones drop out to reveal an extended breakdown of rolling drums and gentle bass lines before all four musicians combine with the staccato pips of the woodwind drifting into smooth flows to craft a sensational display of their sonic talents and creativity. As he continues to share his delightful sonic output, Eden and his musical collaborators are set to celebrate the release of the upcoming record with a live performance at Nublu in New York on the 5th of April.
