"Micha and I have been speaking about playing together for the past 5 years,
and recently did a recording which we are both very excited about.
I landed in Tel-Aviv after a fantastic german tour, and felt that playing
such an intimate duet with a master cellist is for me the perfect way to end

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.
