YOTAM - Brasil (Jazz Legacy Productions 2011)


At the ripe age of 30 years old, Yotam is being quickly recognized as the leading new voice of jazz guitar.   On BRASIL Yotam interprets some of that country’s greatest composers, including Edu Lobo, Chico Buarque, and Tom Jobim.  Beautiful, and very sexy.

The legendary James Moody was so impressed with Yotam’s vast musical vocabulary and beautifully constructed solos that he nicknamed him “the 50 year old man”.

He is joined by three of Brazil’s brightest stars,  legendary guitarist Toninho Horta, pianist David Feldman, and percussionist
Vanderlei Pereira.

“Yotom breaths his own unique harmonic and melodic approach into every melody and chord progression.”  - MODERN GUITARIST MAGAZINE

“Listening to his great guitar solos,  you realize that he reminds you of  everyone and no one at the same time,  simply astonishing”   - JAZZ IMPROV
