Yotam Silberstein, one of the leading jazz guitarists of his generation, has gained worldwide acclaim for a sound rich in bebop and blues as well as musical folklore from South America, North Africa, and the Middle East, giving his music an increasingly global thrust. Fueled by a deep love of the jazz and blues lineage and a joyful immersion in the Brazilian rhythms of choro, samba, frevo, as well as tango and other idioms, he approaches his wide-ranging influences with a meticulousness, conveying not just technical knowledge but also rich lived experience. Furthermore, his mature compositional gift and gripping interpretive finesse are vividly represented in his 2022 release Universos and his 2020 outing with Argentine multi-instrumentalist and composer Carlos “Negro” Aguirre titled En el jardín. Yotam is also a member of the John Patitucci Trio (heard on the acclaimed album Irmãos de Fé), has toured extensively with legendary Brazilian singer-songwriter Ivan Lins, and played with characteristic fire and taste on Monty Alexander’s GRAMMY-nominated Harlem-Kingston Express Live! as well as David Sanborn & Marcus Miller’s Time and the River. He has worked in bands with some of the greatest figures in jazz, including George Coleman, Charles McPherson, Jimmy Heath, James Moody, Roy Hargrove, Paquito D’Rivera, Toninho Horta, and Christian McBride, and continues to tour all over the world and at the most prestigious festivals and venues including the Tokyo, Umbria and North Sea Jazz Festivals as well as Kennedy Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center and more.
