Born and raised in Israel, Uri moved to Boston in 2003. He has studied at Berklee with Joe Lovano and Herb Pomeroy and now lives in New York, where he appears regularly with his own ensembles. His work places Israeli, Yemenite, East European and North African music into a prog ressive Jazz context. Passionate and virtuosic, The Storyteller is a fabulous debut CD by this brilliant and talented composer/saxophonist. /Tzadik/
