Ilay’s music is impossible to ignore, putting intensity and energy into every note, be it a soft ballad or an all-out screaming solo. The band evokes a feeling of wonder, making everything seem possible, yet keeping melody as its core- both of the composition and the improvisation. Influenced by Eric Dolphy, Ilay is taking his saxophone playing into far and unique places, exploring everything the saxophones- both alto and soprano can do. Supported by the dynamic and creative rhythm section of the limitless Pedro Mendes on piano and the telepathically connected Aniol Torrents on double-bass and Guy Abada on drums
