Tamir Hendelman at @exuberance

Tamir Hendelman is a phenomenon—blistering technique, quick wit as an improvisor, and profoundly refined pianism. Born in Tel Aviv, Tamir began studying piano at age 6. Almost four decades later, Tamir commands the high ground as composer, arranger, educator and performer.

Tamir famously drives the piano seats of the Jeff Hamilton Trio and the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra. He serves on UCLA’s jazz faculty.

As composer and leader, Tamir guides his own trio and has produced 2 acclaimed albums....

Like Kenny Werner before him, Tamir appears here @exuberance solo—intimacy you and I will savor. It’s a rare visit to Philadelphia. Expect some Thelonius Monk, some Cole Porter, and some glistening Hendelman originals.
