Daniel Zamir

Daniel Zamir is one of Israel's biggest jazz talents, performing on stages worldwide for the past 19 years. His first albums were recorded for "Tzdik" records, produced and guest appearances by John Zorn. Together with becoming a leading voice in the world of jazz, Zamir became closer to the Jewish religion, and has become a chossid. His original music as his famous solos is a whole that is bigger than the sum of its parts, full of rich textures, and many sources of inspiration, faith.

Till this day, Zamir released 13 albums, all of them distributed internationally. His debut Israeli album, "Amen", has become a tremendous success and turned out to be the most selling jazz album in Israel's history.

Zamir also involved in projects in cinema and TV, as a composer writer and even actor. Zamir played with Matisyahu on many of his shows worldwide.
