Gilad Atzmon ((ヘブライ語:גלעד עצמון); born June 9, 1963) is an Israeli-born British jazz saxophonist, novelist, political activist and writer.〔〔〔John Lewis ("Manic beat preacher" ), ''The Guardian'', March 6, 2009〕 Atzmon's album ''Exile'' was BBC jazz album of the year in 2003.〔Gilad Atzmon,(How jazz got hot again ), ''The Daily Telegraph'', October 13, 2005〕 Playing over 100 dates a year,〔 he has been called "surely the hardest-gigging man in British jazz."〔John Bungey ("Gilad Atzmon: In Loving Memory of America", ) ''The Times'', March 6, 2009〕 His albums, of which he has recorded thirteen to date,〔(Discography ) at Gilad Atzmon website.〕 often explore the music of the Middle East and political themes. He has described himself as a "devoted political artist."〔Stuart Nicholson ( "Cry freedom" ), ''The Spectator'', August 9, 2003〕 His criticisms of Zionism, Jewish identity, and Judaism, as well as his controversial views on Holocaust denial and Jewish history, have led to allegations of antisemitism and racism〔(GILAD ATZMON: Supporting Holocaust Deniers and spreading hatred of Jews ), Hope not Hate web site, November 24, 2011〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/palestinian-writers-activists-disavow-racism-anti-semitism-gilad-atzmon )〕 from both Zionists and leading anti-Zionists. ==Early life== Atzmon was born in a secular Jewish family in Tel Aviv, and trained at the Rubin Academy of Music in Jerusalem.〔 〕 He first became interested in British jazz when he discovered some in a British record shop in Jerusalem in the 1970s. He initially was inspired by the work of Ronnie Scott and Tubby Hayes and regarded London as "the Mecca of Jazz."〔 He also was influenced to become a jazz musician by the work of Charlie Parker, in particular ''Charlie Parker with Strings'' recorded in 1949. Atzmon said of the album that he "loved the way the music is both beautiful and subversive – the way he basks in the strings but also fights against them."〔 He worked with top bands as a musical producer.〔Barnaby Smith, (Sax With An Axe To Grind ), (London Tour Dates ), October 5, 2007.〕 In 1994,〔 〕 Atzmon emigrated from Israel to London, where he attended the University of Essex〔(University of Essex news release ), Dec 14, 2007 notes Atzmon is a "graduate".〕 and earned a master's degree in Philosophy.〔 He has lived there since then, becoming a British citizen in 2002.〔 〕 He renounced his Israeli citizenship〔Olivier Urbain, ''Music and Conflict Transformation: Harmonies and Dissonances in Geopolitics'', Chapter 7, "Music as a Discourse of Resistance: The Case of Gilad Atzmon", I.B.Tauris, 2007, (renounced Israeli citizenship&f=false p 93 ), ISBN 1845115287, 9781845115289〕 and defines himself as "a British, Hebrew Speaking Palestinian". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gilad Atzmon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
