Yaron Herman
«RADIO PARADISE»
Naive Records Album Release Concert
FEAT: Alexandra Grimal-Amir Bresler-Haggai Cohen Milo

After two years of solo touring, Yaron Herman presents his new album Radio Paradise. He returns with an exceptional ensemble, joining forces with two of the finest saxophonists in the world: María Grand, a rising international star, and Alexandra Grimal, a major figure in improvised music. This album takes us on a quest for lyricism, depth and sincerity, with elegant melodies and powerful rhythms, in a project that is both spiritual and deeply Moving.

Yaron Herman is a world class pianist and composer and is widely regarded as one of the leading musicians of his generation.

Despite his young age he has toured every continent, presided over the jury of the Montreux Jazz Festival Competition, headlined television broadcasts in 39 different countries, collected numerous awards including the Victoires du Jazz, iTunes Choice Award, New Talents Trophy, Adami Jazz Talent, Choc Jazzman, Disque d’émoi Jazz and was the first ever jazz pianist to play in the ‘Forbidden City’ in Beijing.

With a background of the European concert hall music tradition, a short stint at Berklee College School of Music and his current presence in the Parisian music scene, Yaron has developed an unparalleled style of ’real time composition‘ and a wild improvisational flare culminating in a rare music form which is playful, cinematic and stunning. With his solo work he is taking a further step forward onto another level of shaping his identity within the world of music.

Yaron’s new quartet album features Maria Grand and Alexandra Grimal on sax, Ziv Ravitz on drums and Haggai Cohen-Milo on bass. Commenting on the new release, Yaron says: «While composing this album I pushed my own boundaries and attempted to create space to enable every member of the quartet to thrive. We’re taking listeners on an emotional voyage while respecting traditional as well as modern influences.»
