Inbar Fridman, international jazz guitarist active in the field in Israel, New-York and Europe for the past 20 years. Performing her original music in ensembles across Europe and Israel, Inbar takes part in international music projects, alongside the legendary drummer- Billy Cobham- among others.

Characterized by sophistication and subtilty, Inbar’s music is internationally praised in journals. Her improvisation demonstrates profound technical mastery along with lyricism and melodiousness. Emerging from traditional jazz foundations, she incorporates textures and colors of Pop music and individual style. Inbar’s art poses a gateway between jazz eras and movements, as well as between the genre and the audience. 

Besides her deep familiarity within the phrases and scales of the jazz world, Inbar composes her own wild and passionate music: captivating, intriguing poetry in fine Hebrew.

Together with her original composition, Inbal will combine both worlds.
