Nuphar Fey
Fey had a long background as a classical soloist in her native Israel, and also explored flamenco, cinematic and middle eastern music before she immersed herself completely in the world of contemporary jazz. She explores the crossover by mixing the traditional jazz trio format with classical chamber music approach and long landscaped forms, playing on the line of the thoughtfully composed.

Exploring this format with a fresh perspective, her music seems to create the impression of sounding like much more than three instruments, as described by reviews and audience.
