Tamir Hendelman and the Spirit of Israel Ensemble

Award-winning jazz pianist/composer and Yamaha artist Tamir Hendelman returns to NYC to lead the Spirit of Israel Ensemble in a jazz quintet performance celebrating the musical spirit of Israel. The quintet also features guitarist Yotam Silberstein, saxophonist Asaf Yuria, bassist Noam Wiesenberg and drummer Daniel Dor.

This exciting collective of Israeli-American jazz musicians from LA and NY will perform new arrangements of Israeli melodies and original repertoire inspired by their culture and
blending their musical heritage with their modern jazz sensibility.

The Spirit of Israel Ensemble will perform at Midtown's performance gem, the Yamaha Artist Services Piano Salon, on the 3rd floor of 689 5th Avenue. The entrance is at 54th Street. Doors will open at 6:30pm.

Pianist Tamir Hendelman is known for his own critically-acclaimed trio recordings and is a long-time member of the Jeff Hamilton Trio and Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra. He has recorded/toured with Natalie Cole and Barbra Streisand and performed with James Moody and Houston Person. From Jazz times: "His playing is firmly in the tradition of Peterson and Green in its strength and swing...His touch and use of dynamics warrant greater exposure." The Tel-Aviv born Angeleno will celebrate his musical roots, leading a quintet of top NY-based Israeli musicians in a program of re-imagined Israeli standards, music by Israeli jazz artists and lyrical originals. www.tamirhendelman.com
