YARON HERMAN TRIO

George Avakian, producer of Miles Davis’ mythical session Kind of Blue and of Keith Jarrett’s early recordings, call him ‘The Real Thing!’ Pianist Yaron Herman, born in 1981 in Tel Aviv and currently residing in Paris, is hot. Keith Jarrett and Paul Bley are is great inspirations but he clearly has his own sound. This is what the Volkskrant wrote about his Bimhuis debut of last year: ‘He let the grand piano roar, buzz and flash without showing off. This well aimed energy is a parallel with the best pop music of this moment. Yaron Herman plays real contemporary music.’
