Yotam Silberstein Official

Yotam Silberstein is a major force in jazz guitar, a player who “improvises in a cutting tone and writes heady original tunes that seem to tug the straight-ahead jazz tradition in new directions” (New York Times). His deep study of music from South America, North Africa and the Middle East has given his music a global thrust — the great bassist John Patitucci has hailed him as “an encyclopedia of Brazilian music.” In addition to his acclaimed work as a leader on the albums Future Memories, The Village, Brasil, Resonance, Next Page and The Arrival, he has distinguished himself as a sideman on recordings by Patitucci (Irmãos de Fé), Monty Alexander (Harlem-Kingston Express Live!, a Grammy nominee), David Sanborn & Marcus Miller, the late Nathan Davis and more.
