Gimel (or Gimel Kins) is the prolific composer pianist Jonathan Besser's new music group. Gimel is a trio at its core, Besser on piano with the vibrant Vibraphonist John Bell; brilliant Bassist Peter Scott, and now with the renowned drummer Chris O'Connor joining in for their summer shows.  Besser's music is related to both classical and jazz music - it uses notated counterpoint and flowing original melodies with Jazz structures, which leave a lot of room for the performers to improvise and for the music to come alive.
