O’s Notes: Eli Degibri was born in Tel Aviv but spent his early adult years in Boston perfecting his skills as a jazz saxophonist. Twelve is his first release after returning home to Israel. He teams up with his best friend Barak Mori (b) and two teenagers: Gadi Lehavi (p) and Ofri Nehemya (d). Together they play modern jazz that swings. Degibri handles the melodies with passion and energy that makes this a winner.
