Yoni Kretzmer and Shanir Blumenkranz with Weasel Walter, Kenny Warren at Legion, 2018. By Don Mount.
Since moving to New York City in 2010, Yoni Kretzmer has made a major impact as a musician and community builder. As a saxophonist and composer, Kretzmer has lead groups and played with musicians like William Parker, Roy Campbell, Chad Taylor, Steve Swell, Weasel Walter, John Hebert among many others. Originally from Israel, the saxophonist came up through the Tel Aviv music scene and has been working to bridge a connection between the scenes of his two homes. Kretzmer’s vision for a transnational creative community has materialized through his own OutNow record label and concert series. Both projects focus on collaborations between New York and Tel Aviv musicians, and represents a way in which Kretzmer feels he can personally contribute to helping fertilize and grow the creative music landscape on a larger scale.
While New York has always been a creative hotbed for free jazz and creative music, smaller cities like Tel Aviv can greatly benefit from the sort of connection which OutNow fosters, using the additional visibility to overcome isolation and assist musicians with growing new connections across borders.
Kretzmer has also been a great friend and asset to Arts for Art, having helped to curate the Evolving music series for the past several years.
For this performance on November 17, Kretzmer invites bassist Shanir Blumenkranz, (best known for his work with Cyro Baptista and John Zorn), and drummer Randy Peterson (known for his work with Joe and Mat Maneri).
Bring your friends, family, and children, meet someone new and build community this Sunday afternoon.
