The Daniel Zamir Quartet is led by Israeli saxophonist and singer Daniel Zamir, a defining voice in Jewish Jazz. Born in 1980, Zamir studied at The New School in New York City before returning to Israel to forefront a movement that fuses modern jazz with klezmer, Hasidic and liturgical elements. A recipient of the Prime Minister’s Award for Jazz Composers in 2010, Zamir is widely regarded as a pioneer who helped bring Jewish Jazz to mainstream recognition. His influential 2006 album Amen helped establish a benchmark for contemporary Jewish music, and his ongoing projects continue to push boundaries across genres.
