	Description:		Avi Avital is an astonishing mandolin player, whether he’s playing classical music or Eastern European folk songs. Omer Avital, though born in Israel, has been an essential part of the New York jazz scene for over 20 years as both a bass player and a composer. Their collaboration, Avital Meets Avital, draws on Moroccan and North African sounds, folkloric and classical traditions, Israeli harmonies and Mediterranean rhythms and jazz improvisation. In fact, Gramophone calls out their "sense of delight in making music together" and their music "Utterly brilliant." Avi and Omer Avital, along with Yonathan Avishai on piano and Itamar Doari on percussion, play some of their works, in-studio.
