Katia Toobool

Katia  has   a  duo  album  together  with the  saxophonist  Yehonathan  Cohen, a duo projest  with the  flutist Hadar Noiberg  and   currently  recording a trio  album  of  original music  together  with  Yonatan Levi  on bass  and Ofri Nehemya  on drums 

The music of a trio is focusing in original  compositions by Katia  who is influenced by classical  training background and  with rich  harmonies and groove that is found in Jazz music. The music is written especially  for this trio and takes in consideration   each  player in their  uniqueness and also gives them freedom and a space to explore. Thanks to  this freedom the trio gets a chance to  make each and every interpretation of a tune   totally different  and unique 

The great  chemistry and communication between the musicians makes it possible to dive deeply in to the  improvised music and invites the listener to  take part in the musical journey
