Saxophonist & Composer

Shauli Einav

" ...with his expressive horn, imaginative pen and confident bandleading, Einav is already setting himself apart." All About Jazz NY

"Opus One has all of the elegance of the old masters while harmonically pushing things forward, and Einay’s not even thirty yet. Whatever happened to experience coming with age?" PopMatters

Opus One marks the emergence of a promising new talent on the jazz scene, saxophonist-composer-arranger and bandleader Shauli Einav. On his startling debut, to be released on the French Plus Loin Music label, the gifted young musician is accompanied by a stellar crew that includes pianist Shai Maestro, trombonist Andy Hunter, bassist Joseph Lepore and drummer Johnathan Blake. Together they interpret this richly rewarding music with rare chemistry and a collective sense of purpose that elevates the proceedings to some lofty peaks. I was really trying to make something meaningful and full of essence, says Einav. And while some of the tunes remind me of my homeland, I dont see this as an Israeli album, its just music per se.

A protégé of the late Arnie Lawrence, a Brooklyn-born saxophonist and educator who moved to Israel in 1997 and founded the International Center for Creative Music in Jerusalem, Einav was exposed to the concept of music operating on a deeper level than just notes on a page from the time he was a teenager. Arnie influenced almost every new Israeli jazz musician that has come to New York since the 90s. And his main thing was that when you play, you have to play the truth and you have to play so it swings. Its not about just having fun, its about delivering a message to the world, whether it will be the most beautiful ballad or the most uptempo, swinging thing ever. Whatever you play, it has to have meaning and a strong sense of urgency behind it. And I think thats a common thing among all of us who have gone through the Arnie Lawrence school. People like Eli Degibri and Avishai Cohen the trumpeter and Omer Avital and many othersthey all play with something that really burns inside of them. And thats one thing that I am trying to convey on this new album.

Born in Israel on July 1, 1982, Einav started studying violin at age four and remained with that instrument for six or seven years before switching to drums and recorders for two years. At age 13, he switched to alto saxophone and played it for seven years until switching to tenor sax at age 20. After receiving his bachelors degree from the Jerusalem Academy of Music and a masters degree from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, Einav moved to New York City in the summer of 2008 and began making a dent on the jazz scene. Through fellow Israeli musicians who had already had a strong foothold in the Big Apple, like bassists Omer Avital and Avishai Cohen, and by performing and hanging at jazz clubs like Smalls and Fat Cat, Shauli made invaluable connections that led to innumerable gigs.
