As composer and leader, Tamir guides his own trio and has produced 2 acclaimed albums.
"One is reminded of the likes of Oscar Peterson, Chick Corea, and Keith Jarrett: an inventive genius coupled with a dynamism that lifts an audience to its feet by the shows conclusion."
(Glenn Rifkin, Artsfuse.)

"What increasingly distinguishes Hendelman is his gift for imaginative arranging. For one thing, he will compose an introduction that makes it difficult to predict what follows, but seems perfectly suitedeven organiconce the tune begins."
