GILAD HEKSELMAN'S passionate artistry and complexity are at the forefront of his new album 'ASK FOR CHAOS'. Named Rising Star guitarist in 2017 by DownBeat Magazine, on his sixth album he combines his melodic, rhythmic, and harmonic expertise, bringing together his two touring bands - his acoustic-based gHex Trio, and his electric-leaning ZuperOctave. The result is his most compelling and innovative sound to date.

that keyboard tone on the solo is incredible

[@mouk0u]

omg so true. wonder if it is an external sound or just the keyboard tone

[@Noitard]

Looks like a Fender rhodes going through a guitar amp with some kinda distortion

[@AlexeiOrechin]

The sound of a Rhodes going through a Super Reverb. Fender.

[@HardwiredMusicMaker]

A friend and I tried putting his Rhodes through a Big Muff fuzz pedal - very similar sound

[@redshield3296]

I agree 100%! He’s playing with an incredible drummer also

[@christianscazzieri]

Gilad is at the forefront of the movement taking the Jazz into the 28th century and beyond. What an amazing talent.

[@kelesays]

[@christianlassen3948]

Edvin Eldelid I'm pretty sure that he is using the FREEZE pedal to sustain certain notes.

[@gustafbonde960]

Hekselman is the new holdsworth

[@rafaelpernil]

I was having a night bicycle ride when I thought: Let's listen to some Gilad Hekselman. I saw on TIDAL this new song and It REALLY impressed me. It reminded me of Esperanza Spalding's Emily D+Evolution drums, with "disengaged rhythm" (as I call it) like in Unconditional Love (Alternate Take, the 10 mins one) kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4DSXo2Ch9BgbLc And at the same time, that super tasty Rhodes made me thing of Kneebody, a group I love. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmmcZoeYh9WIrZY But on top on that, there's that original sound from all Gilad's music: Bold and deep jazz guitar full of texture and emotion. For me this is the future of music: Awesome sound design making use of current technlolgies and an uncanny avant-garde jazz spirit. I can't wait for the full album!

[@mollyp.sasser223]

Is that mccraven on drums?

[@eduardoverdeja9596]

When I first heard this I didn't dig, despite liking Gilad quite a lot... Now i'm high as shit and like WOW i'm just mashing repeat

[@RomulusReemus]

Anybody have any idea what pedals he's using on his solo?

[@drmelindalucampbell]

First time hearing Gilad..first thought: Chick Corea.

[@adamboof6769]

Is this the reincarnation of jesus on the guitar or like what, how have i never heard of him?

[@sandrosadhukhan]

Best if we left religion out of this.

[@vitonatale8441]

HUUUUGE!!!

[@VladTovbinMusic]

Amazing
