Here are a couple pics from the session:
Duets with Meir Shalev, Eyal Shani, Merav Michaeli
Dekel will play a series of all-improvised duets with Meir Shalev, Eyal Shani, Merav Michaeli, Moshe Ivgy and a very special guest star.
The series will be hosted by Tmuna Theater, Israel's acclaimed home for cutting-edge arts.
Dekel will take the stage with nothing but an acoustic guitar, and will improvise the concert from start to finish.
22. 3. 14 - Meir Shalev, Israel's most celebrated author will read texts from his works
29. 3. 14 - Eyal Shani is the most famous chef to come out of Israel. Eyal is known for his highly-passionate style, and charismatic love of poetry
5. 4. 14 - Israeli Kneset member Merav Michaeli will join Dekel reading selected texts chosen by the duo.
Merav shines a new and hopeful light on modern Israeli politics, passing innovative laws in a relatively short political career.
12. 4. 14 - actor Moshe Ivgy, perhaps Israel's most prominent actor, is internationally knows for role in Munich alongside Eric Bana & Daniel Craig.
Moshe will read selected texts from the hebrew bible, from "Of Mice & Men" and many more.

NEW video from "Bach Electrified" tour
NEW video from "Bach Electrified" tour -
was the crowd's favourite can be heard at the end...
"A Love Supreme: The music of John Coltrrane"
Upon his second week in New-York young Israeli guitarist was heard and approached by jazz bass legend Reggie Workman - known as a member of the original Coltrane Quartet, Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and Miles Davis.
This chance meeting resulted in a long mentoring relationship,
allowing Dekel to learn Coltrane's music in the most direct, authentic way - touring with the bass player who recorded it originally.
Now a mature bandleader in his own right Dekel returns to his first and most important influence - jazz icon John Coltrane, in a year-long tour and album.
This tour gives original interpretations to seminal compositions in jazz history with emphasis on such classics as "Giant Steps", "A Love Supreme" and "Coltrane Plays The Blues".
Coltrane's vital collaborations has a special place in Dekel's heart, and the group will perform selections from his work with Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk and Duke Ellington.
