My Jazz Story

I think that the love to Jazz is something that one is born to. Somewhat genetically. For me, the first experience listening to jazz was in the early 60's when I was about 12 - 13 years old. It was listening by crystal radio from Beirut and Ramaala. That time there was only one Radio station in Israel, of course, with no Jazz. Only years after that, in the 80's I started music composition studies in the field of the modern - classical music from which I have most of my credits and prices in Israel. However, one can hear my love for jazz even in that music. Three years ago, after many years of non-composing, I started to compose popular - not - so - popular - music and jazz. All of my compositions are found on the Internet's platforms. I am not playing an instrument (Just write scores and parts for the performers) and produce my music in professional studios, mainly in Israel and lately in New York. My listeners and fans are keeping me in composing, as music is for listening, and Jazz is for those who were born to.

My House Concert Story

I have no concerts as I do not play or sing. I prepare a demo of my music by notating (By Finale and move it to a sequencer (Cubase) with some sounds on it and send the material, offering musicians to record it. Not a very typical way to produce music, but mostly very appreciated by professional performers. My stage is the Internet, where I have hundreds of thousands of listeners, who most of them I don't know, but love, because they are my fans. They are my real audiences, those who I compose music for.
