Bassist Omer Avital was born in the small Israeli town of Givataim where his formal training began at age 11 when he entered the Givataim Conservatory to study classical guitar. He grew up in Tel Aviv, in a Moroccan-Yemenite family, where evidence of his Middle Eastern and Spanish influences came together with jazz and blues. While enrolled at the Talma Yalin, Israel's leading arts high school, he switched his focus to the acoustic bass, was the leader of the jazz ensemble, and wrote all the arrangements. By his senior year at age 17, he was playing professionally, but then spent less then a year in the Israeli Army. After discharge, Avital moved to New York City playing with Roy Haynes, Jimmy Cobb, Nat Adderley, Walter Bishop, Jr., Al Foster, Kenny Garrett, Steve Grossman, Jimmy Lovelace, and Rashied Ali. But his big break came in 1994, not playing with giants, but leading his own groups and big band during the after-hours sessions at Small's in Greenwich Village, along with pianist and co-collaborator Jason Lindner. Some of their sidemen included Mark Turner, Myron Walden, Gregory Tardy, Joel Frahm, Charles Owens, Grant Stewart, Jay Collins, Jimmy Green, Ali Jackson, Joe Strasser, and Daniel Freedman. In 1997, the Impulse label released Jazz Underground: Live at Smalls, featuring Avital's quartet. He signed to record his debut album Devil Head the following year, but it was never issued. Think with Your Heart and Arrival were the first of many CDs for the Fresh Sound/New Talent or Small's labels, and Avital continued working with an array of musicians including Joshua Redman, Aaron Goldberg, trumpeter Avishai Cohen, Anat Cohen, Marc Miralta, the Israeli/international worldbeat band Third World Love, pianist Yonatan Avishai, Yuval Cohen, Emilio Solá y La Orquestable, Antonio Hart, Bill Saxton, Jeff Ballard, Brad Mehldau, Antonio Hart, Claudia Acuña, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Peter Bernstein, Larry Goldings, Marlon Browden, pianist Omri Mor from Jerusalem, the Ithe Izraeli Magreb Orchestra, the Andalusian Orchestra Ensemble, and the legendary Algerian pianist Morris Al Mdiuni.

This disk is a part of Smalls Records' ongoing presentation of Omer Avital's works, past and present. Here we feature some of his present work. But Avital is prolific, and it will require more than one release to catch up on his varied projects.
So'here are some of the best players of this generation together in one group. And it's no accident either. This is no gimmicky 'all-star' record where a bunch of big names are thrown together for the first time to make a record. The musicians in Omer Avital's quintet have been down a long road together, and after more than ten years collaborating in diverse and overlapping combinations, they've made a significant mark on modern music both individually and collectively. We've had a number of those groups at Smalls over the years, and had the privilege of hearing some of these developments take place. All present here are of course famous bandleaders in their own right who really need no introduction at this point. All present have appeared in earlier Omer Avital groups. Mark Turner and Ali Jackson were original members of the seminal Omer Avital Sextet (and both are featured on the Smalls Records CD Asking No Permission / SRCD-0011). Turner and Avital both appeared in the Jason Lindner Big Band (as well as other Jason Lindner projects) together. Avital and Avishai Cohen go back many years. Both performed with Charles Owens in Owens' long-running Friday night feature at Smalls. Both are principals of the Third World Love band (whose American debut is being released through Smalls Records this month). Omer Avital and Aaron Goldberg are, respectively, the 'O' and the 'A' in the long-standing OAM Trio, which also includes Spanish drummer and notable 'M', Marc Miralta.
Here Avital puts forth seven originals, and they are nicely programmed here like separate movements of an extended piece. As with much of Avital's work, there is a sense of dramatic sweep, and an episodic structure. The tunes have graceful introductions, and run from wistful melodies to red hot refrains. There are lots of hooks for improvisation, and everybody gives his all. The overall feel is balanced, and it has the drive of a classic acoustic jazz quintet. The tone is optimistic, but it is a knowing optimism. It is in keeping with the enigmatic title. The ancient art of giving is an idea that is manifest in the simple act of offering tea. Or it is in taming the desert to yield a bountiful harvest, and then sharing that harvest with your neighbor. It is both life giving and life affirming.Luke Kaven June 2006
