Sheva

Drummer and composer Nadav Schneerson, based in London, has been making moves in the UK Jazz scene having already played with the likes of Charlie Stacey (Yussef Dayes), Steamdown, Dargz, Finn Rees (Allysha Joy), Don Glori, and many more across the UK scene and beyond. Highly in demand as a drummer, he's been bubbling as a bandleader with his full 7 piece ensemble gracing many stages in and around London. Having met many of his musical collaborators through Tomorrows Warriors such as Sultan Stevenson, his ensemble line up's feature musicians who have played with many great artists such as Ebi Soda, Levitation Orchestra, Hak Baker, Moses Boyd, and much more. Nadav's music is a unique blend of contemporary jazz with various influences from around the Middle East and all being informed by the bustling UK Jazz styles which surround him.

Nadav Schneerson's debut album 'Sheva' was recorded over two days at the Fish Factory Studio in London. All tracked live, the impressive 7-piece outfit shines through the dynamic range of tracks on the album. Featuring drums, double bass, grand piano & Fender Rhodes, trumpet & flugelhorn, tenor sax, trombone & live F/X, and oud, there are tracks that are more modal and freeform, allowing the soloists to really let loose. Whereas there are also compositions more thoroughly arranged, with intricate parts interweaving through each voice.
