Daphna Sadeh-Neu

Daphna Sadeh is an Israeli born double bassist and composer now based in the UK.

Sadeh studied classical music at the Manhattan School of Music in New York before joining the Israeli based East West Ensemble with whom she toured extensively while immersing herself in Middle Eastern and Arabic music. She was later the co-leader of the all female group Eve’s Women playing a blend of jazz, klezmer and rock while again touring extensively and internationally.

Following a move to London 2002 saw the release of Sadeh’s first solo album “Out Of Border”. Its success led to the formation of the Voyagers group in 2003. Both “Walking the Line” (2007) and “Reconciliation” were credited to Daphna Sadeh & The Voyagers, the latter being released on John Zorn’s Tzadik record label.

Daphna Sadeh was commissioned to compose music and record a CD with the Voyagers for “Tzadik”, the record label from New York, of the renowned Jazz musician John Zorn. In addition to that she has received a grant from the Art Council to support the project. Recently Daphna composed a ground breaking composition for Baroque and Klezmer and Middle Eastern music.

'Everyone of Sadeh’s compositions sings. In this passionate, highly accessible record, it’s clear that Sadeh has found her voice as a stylish composer and bandleader, with a talent for making the complicated sound extraordinarily simple.' Songlines by Lemez Lovas (Reviewed 4 stars)

'Bright and accessible, colourful and unfailingly melodic, this is music that should appeal to a wide range of listeners' All About Jazz www.allaboutjazz.com By Ian Patterson
