Details:
Tevet Sela is a virtuoso saxophonist and composer, and one of Israel''s most prominent musicians. In the last decade, Tevet has been leading his own quartet, which exclusively performs his music.
In his repertoire, Tevet weaves together elements of African and Middle Eastern music with soulful Jazz-funk. Tevet''s style of music came from him being exposed at an early age to the rich blend of cultures found in Israeli society, ranging from Jewish to North African music, and from Middle Eastern to Western music. The result is a singular mix of influences that characterizes Tevet''s instantly recognizable and individual style.
Tevet, who is also a bassist, has an extraordinary sense of rhythm manifested by his ability to transform the saxophone into a rhythm instrument and to combine his tight rhythmic lines as an integral part of the rhythm section. This rhythmic approach, along with Tevet''s song oriented compositions, makes his music a complete and satisfying experience.
Tevet started playing classical piano at the age of 7. When he was 12 he began playing the saxophone and his interest in Jazz started to grow. At the age of 16 he started to compose his own music and began his professional musical career. Tevet soon became a much sought after session player, playing at the house bands of the most popular Israeli television shows as well as contributing solos for soundtracks and artists releases, both in Israel and abroad.
Tevet, who is also a graduate of the prestigious Thelma Yelin School of Arts, has toured in France and the Netherlands as it''s big band featured soloist. In addition, Tevet holds a Diploma in music education, and has over the years won several scholarships of the America-Israel cultural fund.
Tevet has represented Israel in an international UNICEF benefit concert (in the Netherlands), that was broadcasted in 35 countries throughout the world and featured international artists such as: David Bowie, Des''ree, Youssou N''doure, Al Jarreau, and more..
In the year 2000 Tevet established his own band and started to record and perform his original compositions. Tevet and the band released their debut album ''Tevet Sela'' and perform in international jazz festivals and venues, both in Israel and abroad. Tevet''s live concerts generate interest and enthusiasm by both European and Israeli audience. His music is frequently played by radio stations around the world including the BBC Radio, and leading Jazz stations in the USA.
"Tevet Sela will undoubtedly be one of the most influential saxophonists of the 21st century"

"I’m really impressed by the quality of composition and performance… his writing is adventurous… I couldn’t help comparing his music with that of the Yellow Jackets". Chris Mann, https://www.tradebit.com , June 2005
"… Tevet Sela''s music combines classical harmonies with a kleizmer influence and north-African rhythms, and it all blends into a sweet honey-like mixture with a bass-guitar touch. This musical mix is punctuated by Tevet''s poignant saxophone, like a surprise chilli in strawberry jam, which doesn''t overshadow its color yet keeps generating curiosity and fascination…"
