With just one listen to this CD
you will quickly agree that... A master has arrived.
At the ripe age of 30 years old, Yotam
is being quickly recognized as the leading new voice of jazz
guitar. On BRASIL Yotam interprets some of that
country’s greatest composers, including Edu Lobo, Chico
Buarque, and Tom Jobim. Beautiful, and very sexy.
The legendary James Moody was so
impressed with Yotam’s vast musical vocabulary and beautifully
constructed solos that he nicknamed him “the 50 year old man”.
He is joined by three of Brazil’s
brightest stars, legendary guitarist Toninho Horta, pianist David Feldman, and
percussionist Vanderlei Pereira.
“Yotom
breaths his own unique harmonic and melodic approach into
every melody and chord progression.” - MODERN GUITARIST MAGAZINE
“Listening to his great guitar solos, you realize that
he reminds you of everyone and no one at the same time,
simply astonishing” - JAZZ IMPROV
Born and raised in Tel-Aviv, Israel,
Yotam started playing guitar at the age of 10, focusing mostly
on rock and blues. He was soon after accepted into the
prestigious Alon High School for the Arts, where he studied
jazz with such great teachers as Walter Blanding and Amit
Golan. During his high school years, Yotam won many local
competitions and was heralded as a very promising young
guitarist. At age 18, he joined the IDF (Israel's Army) and
served as a musical director, arranger and lead guitarist for
three years. During his military service he gained recognition
and began playing with many of Israel's top jazz musicians.
At 21, Yotam won the prestigious
"Israeli Jazz Player of the Year" competition with his trio
and was asked to perform at Italy's renowned Umbria Jazz
Festival. The same year, Yotam released The Arrival on the
Fresh Sound New Talent label. The success of his highly
acclaimed debut album enabled him to tour extensively
throughout Europe and the Middle East.
In August of 2005, Yotam received a scholarship to further his
jazz studies at the New School in New York City. Less than a
month later, he was selected as one of 10 top guitar players
to participate in the semi finals of the distinguished 2005
Thelonious Monk International Jazz Guitar Competition. In
2009, in addition to releasing his second release, he toured
with the Sam Yahel Trio, opening for Steely Dan in major
concert halls.
Since then he has played in many of the
city's great venues with great jazz artists like James Moody,
Benny Golson, Curtis Fuller, Louis Hayes, Jimmy Heath, Frank
Wess, Junior Mance, James Spaulding, Pat Martino, Antonio
Hart, Slide Hampton and Dizzy Gillespie Alumni All-Stars to
name a few.
At age 30, Yotam has already made some
significant inroads on the New York jazz scene. He shows great
promise for the future, and Resonance is a huge step in the
right direction.
