About this Event
Known for their synergy and near telepathic abilities on and off the bandstand, Eytan and Gabriel are first rate calls. Born in San Francisco into a family of musicians, identical twins Eytan (bass) and Gabriel (piano) have been playing music together for as long as they can remember. Now based in New York City, E & G lead vibrant careers in jazz and can be found regularly performing and touring at household & historic venues: Between the two of them, they have played SFJAZZ, Dizzy's Jazz at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, Monterey Jazz Festival, The Django, Ornithology, Black Cat, Minton's Playhouse, Cellar Dog, and Mr. Tipples. With Eytan currently pursuing a Master’s at The Juilliard School and with Gabriel fresh out of The Manhattan School of Music, they are both active frontmen and sidemen in the New York and San Francisco music circuits. Combined, they perform with jazz heavyweights Akira Tana, Azure McCall, Mike King, Erena Terakubo, Mike Olmos, Christopher McBride, Tyreek Mcdole, Lawrence Fields, Wayne Escofferey and more. On their Return To the West 2024 Tour, Eytan and Gabriel will perform a selection of originals and arrangements from their upcoming album.
