"Gimel is such a band. The unexpected gem of the evening, Gimel, an instrumental-only group from New Zealand, relies on the number three for inspiration. The band is headed by composer and pianist Jonathan Besser. Marie Tom was on bass, John Bell was on vibraphone and Yair Katz, originally from Israel, on drums. Entering into the cool dark auditorium, the music was heart-achingly pretty and delicate, demanding, against all codes of decorum, that the listener stretch back in her seat and shut her eyes for immersion in the exquisite experience."
