YARON HERMAN SOLO

Yaron Herman-piano

George Avakian, producer of Miles Davis’ mythical session Kind Of Blue and of Keith Jarret’s first recordings, calls him ‘The Real Thing!’ Yaron Herman, born in Tel-Aviv in 1981 and currently residing in Paris, is hot. With his strong personality, sense of phrasing and theatrical performance, the young pianist took France by a storm. Keith Jarrett, Paul Bley, John Coltrane and Lennie Tristano are his source of inspiration, next to the traditional music form his home country and pop artists of his generation (Björk, Beastie Boys).
