Ari Hoenig Quartet
USA
17 Mar 2012, Sat, 7.30pm
Mosaic Studio (Esplanade Recital Studio)
"…his style is characterized by a crisp attack and quick attentive reflexes. Ari Hoenig approaches jazz drumming with manic glee, and yet he's exacting with texture and pulse, an irrepressibly kinetic drummer”
– Nate Chinen, The New York Times
Ari Hoenig is a jazz drummer, composer and educator known for his unusual and intense approach to drumming, emphasising complex rhythms in direct harmony other musicians.
For Ari, drumming is not just about keeping tempo. He is known for his unique ability to modify the pitch of a drum by using drum sticks, mallets, and even parts of his body such as his hands and elbows). Using this technique, he can play any note in the chromatic scale, virtually any melody, and even improvise on a chord structure in the same way as any other instrumentalist would.
Ari has also performed or recorded with Shirley Scott, Gerry Mulligan, Jean Michel Pilc, Mike Stern, Kenny Werner, Joshua Redman, Wayne Krantz, Herbie Hancock, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Richard Bona, Dave Liebman, Chris Potter, Toots Thielemans, Dave Holland, Joe Lovano, Pat Metheny, Pat Martino, Ivan Linz and the Jazz Mandolin Project.
The quartet for this performance includes Gilad Hekselman (guitar), Orlando le Fleming (bass) and Shai Maestro (piano).
