This album is an honest capture of where the trio is musically— centered on melody, dynamic touch, and interactive conversation.
—Dan Papirany
Pianist and composer Dan Papirany announces the release of his new live trio album, Live at Amama, recorded performance-live at the Amama Jazz Room in Tel Aviv. Featuring Einam Shemi on double bass and Yaniv Lovan on drums, the 11-track collection captures the trio's fluid dynamic, melodic spontaneity, and shared commitment to space-conscious improvisation.
Live at Amama highlights Papirany’s lyrical touch, combining rich block chord harmonizations with expressive, unhurried phrasing. The set balances original compositions—including the soulful "Adi's Tune" and the rhythmic "Eb Major Waltz"—alongside refreshed, deeply personal trio arrangements of classic jazz standards such as "Misty" and "In Your Own Sweet Way".
“Playing live at Amama offered the precise acoustic intimacy we needed to stretch out and listen to one another,” says Papirany. “This album is an honest capture of where the trio is musically—centered on melody, dynamic touch, and interactive conversation.”
Grounded in decades of international performance and educational experience across New Zealand, Australia, and Israel, Papirany's trio playing continues a long-standing commitment to classic jazz piano traditions while forging a clear, personal narrative.
Live at Amama is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major digital platforms.
