Unifying the psychedelic from West African rock with slinky Ethiopian jazz, emboldened with an improvisational vibration, Sandman Project is a band consisting of just four band members on guitar, trumpet, bass and drums. Tal Sandman is the guitarist and leader of the group based in the Arabic district of Tel Aviv, Jaffa. With a name drawn from her deep connection to the earth's elements, the group's sound is purely instrumental and at times evokes the early pioneering spirits of Ethiopian jazz with swirling trumpets climbing up and down a moody Tezeta Ethiopian scale. The African continent is a constant reference within Sandman's repertoire and Tal cites legendary greats such as Mulatu Astatke, Ebo Taylor and Babatunde Otalunji as key influencers.
