Amir Gwirtzman, a multi-culti artist, plays more than 20 different woodwinds, reeds, horns, pipes, flutes and percussion instruments as a one-man band called Inhale–Exhale. In his performances, he constructs an ensemble sound for most of his songs, playing one instrument part on top of another until the music crescendos into a blend of rhythms, melody and harmony.Gwirtzman infuses Inhale-Exhale with a combination of R&B, jazz and rhythms of Cuban jazz, along with Middle Eastern, Gypsy, Jewish klezmer, Armenian, Irish Celtic and Native American influences. He has performed in Manila and Peru and had a very successful tour across the US as a visiting artist of the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation.Gwirtzman has performed and recorded with many artists, such as Philip Glass, Mino Cinellu, Johnny Almendra (Ray Barreto & Mongo Santamaria’s Big-Band), as well as some of Israel’s finest musicians, including Rita, Shlomo Artzi, Rami Kleinstein, Yehuda Poliker, Arik Einstein, Shalom Hanoch, Shlomi Shabbat and Gidi Gov.In his current solo project, this one-man big band will introduce dancer Keren Rosenberg and other guest musicians.
