Israeli-born, New York-based, world-renowned trumpeter and composer Itamar Borochov, connects lower Manhattan to North Africa, modern Israel and ancient Bukhara, celebrating traces of the divine that he finds in elegant sophistication, Middle Eastern tradition and downhome blues. Borochov brings a unique sound with him wherever he goes. Deeply immersed in the jazz tradition, Borochov’s search for his personal roots resulted in an ever-expanding love for Arab and Pan-African musical sensibilities—a natural palette for a trumpeter-composer raised in Jaffa, an integrated Muslim-Jewish-Christian city.

Itamar Borochov has received serious world-wide critical acclaim for both his first album Outset and his recent one Boomerang. Released on the prestigious Laborie Jazz Label, Boomerang features original jazz compositions by Itamar Borochov and unorthodox arrangements of traditional folk-melodies. It’s no wonder why Borochov has been lighting up the stages of the most important Jazz festivals and venues around the world.

After working with such legendary artists as Curtis Fuller and Candido Camero, and having served as arranger and co-producer for acclaimed world music sensation Yemen Blues, Borochov set out on his own path. His critically acclaimed recording Outset was included in the New York City Jazz Record’s Best of 2014 List, and his latest album Boomerang, has already received serious critical acclaim, and peaked at #5 on iTunes’ Jazz Download chart, and #6 on Amazon’s Jazz Download Chart, and was chosen as a “revelation” by Jazz Magazine, as well as starring in the recent Stella Artois commercial. Audiences worldwide are falling for his enchanting sound and virtuosic expression.

Borochov has performed internationally at such prestigious venues and festivals as Lincoln Center (NY), The Kennedy Center (Washington, DC), Montreal Jazz Festival, Moscow Jazz Festival, Jazz Na Fabrica (Brazil), and many more. The Itamar Borochov Quartet has toured throughout North, Middle, and South America, all across Europe, China, and the Middle East.

Itamar Borochov, quickly gaining international recognition as a jazz innovator, continues his musical quest, offering on Boomerang a music that reflects a rich global landscape seen firsthand, through the jazz tradition.
