Gilad Hekselman: Hearts Wide Open
Ospite che si inserisce con facilità nel clima dell'incisione improntato ad una sicura eleganza compositiva, ad un'interpretazione sobria e asciutta sia delle parti d'insieme che in quelle solistiche, alla capacità di assorbire con naturalezza diversi input stilistici, primi fra tutti quelli provenienti dalla terra natia debitamente miscelati con la contemporaneità metropolitana della Grande Mela.
Hearts Wide Open non contiene nulla di rivoluzionario o sconvolgente, ma ci propone musica sincera ed onesta, dalla chiara impronta melodica che si riverbera e scompone in diverse sfaccettature e diversi gradi di angolosità, sorretta da un pregevole equilibrio tra scrittura e improvvisazione. Hekselman palesa un approccio strumentale memore certamente dei grandi interpreti del passato ma decisamente più vicino all'estetica di chitarristi come Ben Monder, Steve Cardenas e Kurt Rosenwinkel.
