​​Guitarist/pianist/composer Itamar Erez “expands the musical cultures and geographical borders of the Middle East with passionate flamenco and Latin music themes, the lyricism of Brazilian bluesy Choro and, obviously, the freedom of jazz” (Salt Peanuts).
Erez has released six albums and performed at renowned venues like the Barbican in London, Sydney Opera House, and that mountaintop of arts performance, New York’s Carnegie Hall. As far-ranging as he is, both musically and geographically, “it’s hard to locate Itamar Erez’s music in any particular place or time, other than here and now” (Stir). Playing selections from his engrossing new album Mi Alegria, Erez’s quartet features some of the Canadian jazz scene’s boldest, most sensitive players including Sam Davidson clarinets, Jeff Gammon bass, and Kevin Romain drums.
