Results of a visit to Germany period of November 17 through 26. 2024

It was a productive period. The meeting at Josef Klier Mouthpieces
on November 18.2024, brought positive results.
Here is a tip in the subject of Back-bores alterations on trumpet/flugelhorn mouthpieces: Having an option of more opened(altered/adjusted) back-bores on some mouthpieces can be useful and helpful to trumpeters, who face a situation of playing with dentures or implants or crowns in front or rare teeth.
Enjoy the video trailers.

October 28.2024. Duo “Dialogue”. Feat: Gregory Rivkin and Yair Loewenson @ Kitchen Chester. Haifa!

https://eventbuzz.co.il/lp/event/28102024

Уникальное сочетание джазовой трубы и джазовой гитары создаёт богатое звуковое пространство, в котором яркость и проницательность трубы сочетаются с тёплыми и многослойными гармониями гитары. Это взаимодействие позволяет трубе исполнять выразительные, насыщенные мелодические линии, в то время как гитара предоставляет сложное ритмическое и гармоническое сопровождение. Вместе они формируют разнообразный звуковой ландшафт, охватывающий как мелодичные, уютные моменты, так и более сложные и экспериментальные формы, создавая уникальное музыкальное восприятие.

The unique combination of jazz trumpet and jazz guitar creates a rich tapestry of sound, blending the trumpet’s bright, piercing clarity with the guitar’s warm, harmonic textures. This pairing allows for dynamic interplay, where the trumpet can deliver bold, expressive lines while the guitar provides intricate rhythmic and harmonic support. Together, they craft a versatile sonic palette that ranges from smooth, melodic dialogues to complex, avant-garde explorations, offering a distinctive listening experience.

Gregory Rivkin got everything that a trumpeter could only ask for: the sound, flawless technique, range, total control…All these qualities are supported with unified balance of emotions, spirit and intellect.

During his teens Gregory became a first-prize winner of several national competitions in Israel and six times in a row won a scholarship of America-Israel Cultural Foundation, which brought him recognition and the opportunity to perform as a soloist with Israel Philharmonic in 1997. The trumpeter continued his artistic development in Paris, France and then in New York, N.Y., U.S.A. There he established a very high reputation among his peers, colleagues, veterans and «who is who» of the music and trumpet scenes.

Michael Agre is a jazz musician from Israel, registered in the field of conceptual free jazz. Agre works in the field of academic electronics, composes symphonic and chamber works, writes music for films and performances. Hw is a laureate of international theater and jazz festivals as a composer and pianist, who has implemented projects with Sergei Kuryokhin, Sergei Letov, Hans Joachim Roedelius, Albert Mangelsdorf, Roger Eno, Slava Ganelin and other musicians.
