GENERAL:
The music of pianist and composer Ari Erev blends a deep classical touch, producing an intimate, delicate and emotional style which is inspired by pianists such as Bill Evans, Kenny Barron and Fred Hersch, with an energetic, latin-oriented and rhythmic drive, such as those found with pianist Michell Petrucciani, to produce a mature voice of his own.

ARI EREV'S OPEN GROUP:
The OPEN Group combines Latin-flavored jazz compositions with modern, straight ahead Jazz, creating a colorful set, full of variety and inspired playing.
The band repertoire is mostly based on original compositions by the group's pianist and leader Ari Erev, mainly from his last album "A Handful of Changes". The band also plays its own Jazz arrangements for a number of Israeli songs written by one of Israel's greatest composers - Alexander "Sasha" Argov, as well as its own interpretation for some Jazz standards.
Ari is available also for PIANO SOLO performances.
