“The feeling in a small club quickly grows intense when Gilad Hekselman steps up to improvise,” Ben Ratliff wrote in The New York Times. “…Mr. Hekselman has set himself roughly up in the line of Pat Metheny and Kurt Rosenwinkel, with a warm and clean guitar tone, clear articulation, crazily extended improvisational ideas, speed when he needs it, an advanced understanding of harmony, and the flexibility to go wherever his bands want...” This special Jazz Standard one–nighter reconvenes the outstanding quartet that Gilad Hekselman assembled for his 2011 album Hearts Wide Open, the successor to his acclaimed 2008 CD Words Unspoken recorded with Joe Martin, Marcus Gilmore, and saxophonist Joel Frahm.
