“You will not hear anything more beautiful today.”

– Télérama, France

New York saxophonist Oded Tzúr has ushered in a new era for his instrument by giving it a whole new voice — one that is described by The Guardian as a “unique tenor sax whisper”.

His music is more than a conversation, states the New York City Jazz Record: “It is an interactive prayer".
