Album Notes

Third World Love began as a summer tour and recording for "Fresh Sound Records" in Barcelona. Avishai Cohen (trumpet), Omer Avital (Bass), Yonatan Avishai (Piano) and Daniel Freedman (drums) instantly became a band. Experimenting with different compositional forms, their music organically blends African, Middle Eastern, rock and jazz.
Whether the show is in a concert hall or rock club the band draws the audience in to a poetic journey of rhythms, songs, dance and joyful celebration

"When the magic is created on stage, there is no choice but to listen, shake your butt and notice how your stupid smile is getting bigger and bigger every second." Haaretz Magazine

OMER AVITAL "Extraordinary." - New York Times
"Roaringly Inventive"- Jazziz
"Strikingly Talented"- Entertainment Weekly

Best!

Soulful, touching, intelligent and vivid -- these are just a few of the superlatives I can attach to this album. You can taste the honey on "Assal" (=honey in Arabic) and almost see Barcelona on "Sketches of..." (track 6). What a pleasure!
