SHAI MAESTRO

Israeli pianist Shai Maestro ranks among those young lions who, like countryman Yaron Herman, approach the jazz trio format with refreshing inventiveness and verve. Accompanied by bassist Jorge Roeder and drummer Ziv Ravitz, this musician with the fateful surname arrives at the Festival for the first time with compositions from the excellent album The Road to Ithaca. Attention: a discovery on the horizon.
