Metheny-inflected composing muse and partnerships with a raft of New York jazz aristocrats (including Chris Potter, Mark Turner, Esperanza Spalding and Ari Hoenig), it's perhaps surprising that the Israeli-born guitarist Gilad Hekselman's international reputation isn't bigger. Far Star, his all-original lockdown project and his debut for Edition Records, might change that, though not necessarily for a core jazz audience.
