Ido Bukelman's acoustic guitar, and banjo explorations and free jazz from from New Orleans power trio Chris Alford, Luke Stewart, Justin Peak.

Ramble is thrilled to announce another standout collaboration with Italian label Torto Editions - "Then I heard the clear voice of the flute" by guitarist, multi instrumentalist, composer-performer and a poet Bukelman.

Then I heard the clear voice of the flute" is the 10th solo album by Ido Bukelman and consists of improvised pieces for bowed banjo and acoustic guitar, but includes one vocal piece with lyrics, as well as one old folk song "The Flute" - a debut expression of Bukelman's many years of exploring into folk music from the Middle Eastern region, from which he comes from.

Ido Bukelman's work combines elements of modern music, free-jazz and blues with oriental-folk tradition. Alongside his solo work, Bukelman plays in a variety of highly creative musical projects; He has toured and recorded with musicians like Steve Swell (USA), Gunter "Baby" Sommer Baby (DE), Mark Sanders (UK), Mikołaj Trzaska (PL) and others.
