About Me
Jazz guitarist and composer
Inbar Fridman is an Israeli jazz guitarist. Inbar performed alongside renowned musicians such as Billy Cobham, Aaron Goldberg, Steve Cardenas, Will Vinson, Myron Walden and Harry Whitaker. After studying in Rimon school of music, Inbar moved to the US to pursue a BM degree at William Paterson University in NJ. Moving back to Israel in 2005, she tours regularly throughout Europe and Israel. Inbar's new upcoming release “Early afternoons”, coming out in August 2023, is a collaboration with bass player Shlomi Mantsur, exploring their all time favorite Jazz standards. Both Shlomi and Inbar are Israeli born and raised musicians. It was only natural they ended up meeting each other outside of where they spent most of their lives: a music school in New Jersey, William Paterson University. During school days, their intense relationship consisted of daily binges of chocolate chip cookies and OJ, sharing a “General Tsao” dish at the local fast food Chinese restaurant, and practicing jazz standards for hours every day. After college they both went their separate ways, and fell out of touch. Twenty some years have gone by before they bumped into each other on the street one day. Playing together again felt like the most natural thing. They started meeting regularly in Shlomi's studio in Tel Aviv. Spending early afternoons together, making new- old music again. In 2013 Inbar released her debut album 'Time quartet project”. Collaborating with fellow French band members, the quartet traveled to the foot of the Pyrenees in the south of France. Inspired by the vast French countryside, the CD introduces a very melodic and lyrical Original jazz. It was released on Origin records in 2013 to great reviews and radio plays in the USA. In 2023, After 30 years of playing primarily instrumental Jazz music, Inbar ventured into a new territory. Presenting lyrics composed and performed by herself, in an acoustic environment of a jazz ensemble, she released her second album as a leader: 'Shirey A-Hava” . The album portrays ultra delicate and fragile songs of love's unfolding endeavors. www.inbarmusic.com
