From Afar מרחוק

My Debut Album, released in December 8th 2025, consists of 3 poems by Nathan Zach I've set to music and 3 originals songs, seperated by an Instrumental interlude. The album was recorded at the New England Conservatory exactly a year before its release, and features a Jazz piano trio and a string quartet, Boston peers at the time. The Album was mixed in Hague by Yasmin Eden, and Mastered by Tim Biesta and Nikolis Koutsospyros. Art by Tom Wohl.

Composing Instrumental tunes has been a part of my work since I got into Jazz in high-school.. These tunes double as vehicles for improvisation to create medium-long form instrumentals. Here are some of the results:

The Way that i feel

In the summer of 2025 I planned to come home and visit my family in Israel. The conflict had other plans, as the intensifying Iran-Israel war Left me with a canceled flight and an empty schedule. I recorded and produced some songs in English I wrote during my time at NEC, mostly in my bedroom. I recorded some friends on it, and outsourced some of the mixing and drumming to my friend Nir Dembinsky in Tel Aviv.

With an extensive jazz education and some Israeli chutzpah, Nadav doesn’t shy away from any music that catches his ears. He is currently engaged in indie folk, Klezmer, contemporary classical music, modern jazz, and improvised music.
After receiving “Outstanding Musician” status in the IDF and performing at top jazz venues in Tel Aviv (Beit Ha’amudim, Shablul), Nadav received a scholarship to study Jazz Composition at NEC, working with Frank Carlberg and Jason Moran. He has been fortunate to play with Dave Holland, Tim Berne, and others, and to perform his music throughout Boston and New York, leading ensembles ranging from duos and trios to big band. As a side-person, Nadav performs regularly with the KDF Big Band, the Itay Dayan Quartet, and the Jeff Sagurton Quintet, as well as various ad-hoc groups at Wally’s and NEC recitals.Nadav graduated from Reut High School for the Arts with honors, double majoring in jazz performance and contemporary composition. At the same time, his trio performed extensively in Haifa. He continued his studies at the Tel Aviv Conservatory, taking lessons with Anat Fort. After leaving the conservatory due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Nadav continued studying with Anat and stayed active in the Tel Aviv scene until moving to Boston.
