“New York Hieroglyphics Ensemble is positively firespitting…it is the flowering complexity of Apfelbaum’s pen that makes it a standout.” - JazzTimes
Decades ago, before the term “world music” was commonplace, Peter Apfelbaum’s Grammy-nominated, Bay-area Hieroglyphics Ensemble became renowned for its adroit fusing of African, Indian and Middle Eastern rhythms with avant-garde jazz. In 2003, New York City transplant Apfelbaum formed the New York Hieroglyphics Orchestra, adding several more collaborators: drummer Dafnis Prieto, trombonist Josh Roseman, violinist Charlie Burnham and Malian vocalist Abdoulaye Diabate. Apfelbaum’s brilliance on saxophone, flute, piano and a variety of percussive instruments underscore the sheer dynamism of this 10-piece ensemble. His virtuosity has led to collaborations with Don Cherry, the Kronos Quartet, Harry Belafonte and Trey Anastasio among others.
