Gilad and All That Jazz NR

5.0 out of 5 stars (3) IMDb 8.6/10

Gilad Atzmon is one of modern music's most respected musicians. He is also a controversial public opponent of Israel. Born into a pro-Zionist family and serving in the first Lebanon War, Gilad had a dramatic turnaround. He quit the army, picked up his sax and exiled himself to London, declaring himself an enemy of the Israeli state. Since then he has produced some of today's greatest Jazz albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars"A Jew? Maybe a Black Jew!"
By Partial to Truth on November 10, 2012
Format: Amazon Video
I am a great fan of Gilad Atzmon's music and an admirer of his daring writings so I consider myself a hard-to-please critic of any Atzmoniad singing about "the sax and the man," but I found this short movie highly satisfactory in all regards.
The movie does an excellent presentation of Atzmon as the outstanding sax player of his generation, as was remarked by A. Theokopoulos in her review on deLiberation:

"The scoring of the movie -- Gilad's pieces with middle-eastern influences as well as classic Charlie Parker standbys -- is jazz at its best and a delight throughout the film. He reminisces that in his adolescence, having first heard the Bird on the radio and then discovered that he was black, he thought to himself:
"Black?! Maybe he is a Black Jew."
Perhaps somewhere up there the Bird hears Gilad's sax and wonders:
"A Jew?! Maybe he is a Black Jew."

It also throws a revealing light -- through interviews of Artzmon and those who know him-- on his development from a devoted zionist "sabra" into a humanist, eyes wide open to Israel's crimes, a profound intellectual who explores the ethical implications of each action without received ideas, courageously and honestly.

A wonderful short movie to see, enjoy and be uplifted by.

5.0 out of 5 starsA good first impression of Gilad Atsmon.
By Lisa on March 29, 2014
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
An honest story telling of Gilad's development as a brilliant artist and a sincere humanitarian. It was good to see the variety of opposition relative to him and I hope someday they find a way to actually engage him in factual debates rather than just name calling and discounting. He seems a strong, enchanting, and sincere person..God bless him and his wife.

5.0 out of 5 starsGood doc
By Sam M on December 11, 2012
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
A friend who had seen this doc in a festival recommended it. I watched it mainly because I'm a Jazz fan, and I like Gilad's music. It was somewhat of a surprise when it turned out to be more than just his music, but also his relationship with his homeland, Israel. The doc explores Gilad's personal views and it's origins on political matters involving Israel and how it all relates to his music. All the great Jazz didn't hurt of course.

I thoroughly enjoyed this doc.
