Nitai Hershkovits Trio

Nitai Hershkovits made name at major venues and festivals with the Avishai Cohen Trio and was hailed as a piano prodigy. Critics compared him to Hank Jones, Brad Mehldau and others: ‘Hershkovits dances on the keys with the elegance of Fred Astaire and the melancholy wit of Charlie Chaplin’ (General-Anzeiger Bonn).

Nitai’s music is very diverse: from his almost classical sol piano compositions to the beat-oriented music on his recent album New Place Always, that radiates the energy of his current hometown New York. His renewed trio sounds promising: transparent, dynamic and with influences of Monk and Ornette Coleman. Drummer Amir Bresler has previously played the BIMHUIS with the Omer Klein Trio.
