Ari Erev

Jazz pianist and composer Ari Erev performs regularly in Israel and in Europe in Piano Solo or Trio settings.

Music

The music of pianist and composer Ari Erev blends a deep classical touch, producing an intimate, delicate and emotional style inspired by pianists such as Bill Evans, Kenny Barron and Fred Hersch, with an energetic, latin-oriented and rhythmic drive, such as those found with pianists Michel Camilo and Michell Petrucciani, to produce a mature voice of his own.

Albums

In "Close to Home" (2021), pianist and composer Ari Erev melds highly-melodic Jazz, wrapped in rich harmony textures and Latin-inspired rhythms with soulful sound and sensitive playing. At its core, the ensemble is a piano trio, but Erev takes full advantage of the additional colours at his disposal, with the addition of New York-based flutist Hadar Noiberg, acclaimed percussionist Gilad Dobrecky & hotly tipped saxophonist Yuval Cohen. The music is strongly rooted in jazz but showcases Erev's long-time passion for world music and, in particular, Latin influences.
