As a jazz trumpet player, a physicist, and Naturopathic Doctor, who was raised Jewish, (no longer follow this "Abrahamic Babylonian Talmudic) religion (now more of a Taoist/Buddhist as are so many former Jews),,,I can only speak words of Praise for Gilad. He is not only a brilliant, exciting and compassionate musician (with little to no tolerance for BS), but this carries over to his First class Scholarship. He is a rare and urgently important human being who speaks the Truth in The Age of Lies.

Gilad Atzmon is a great writer, musician and most of all, a fantastic human being. I'm happy to count him as a friend!

@MrSaxman50 You are amazingly ignorant of politics, political philosophy and jazz all at the same time.

[MrSaxman50]

Also him and his Group are here insulting the American National Anthem...which is NO surprise coming from a committed Jew and America Hater.Even though he was born in Israel his hate is overseeing that Birth.Being born in Israel or any country doesn't mean you will Not betray it.The history of treason goes as far back as all written history.

Gilad is a Huge Jew Hater and Pro-Islamic Jihadist..and Communist.His Socialist writings and Anti-Jew hate was a main factor in BBC giving him the 2003 jazz Album of there Year.He is an insult to 98% of all jazz Musicians...and epecially John Coltrane .His Free -Form Playing is an example of no Soul...just sounds and anger.His audiance is 100% Pro-Hamas.Yes he has great chops.....But Music isn't about Chops..Not jazz or any music.I will continue boycottingt the hateful man...

Music is music.Should be played and you either like it or you don't, right.Like any art form.

With time any audience should be able to deal with the esoteric thing.Music can have different functions but using it as a tool to make political statements I have no time for. Whether you agree with the politics or not.

This is for the American SWP or the British one? They are two significantly different groups.

I just ordered my copy of The Wondering Who? Can't wait to sink my teeth into it!

You sound awesome Gilad. Thank you.

[DrippingwithIrony]

Atzmon's "The Wandering Who? A Study of Jewish Identity Politics." It's out. READ IT. Let's get together after to discuss and debate it. All else (the name calling and so on) is pointless drivel. Let's engage the text and let reason and debate carrying the day.

Gilad Atzmon is right about Jews.
