Alon Farber Hagiga new album "Reflecting on Freedom" will be released on September 17, 2021 under one of the best Jazz labels in the world, Origin Records (Seattle,USA). The instrumentation of Hagiga is exciting- three multi horns players and a rhythm section, and as so the writing is influenced by the works of Wayne Shorter, Dave Douglas and Booker Little. In addition to the sextet there is guest appearance here by wonderful vocalist and percussionist.
The idea for the name comes from Eddie Harris' tune; "Freedom Jazz Dance" which is quoted in the theme song. In our music we take the liberty to experiment in all kinds of moods, grooves and traditions, as the title suggests.
