Daniel Sarid is a renowned Israeli pianist, composer, and music therapist in avant-garde jazz.

 

Influenced by Jaki Byard and Kenny Werner, he blends technical precision with creative freedom.

 

He co-founded Levontin 7, a key Tel Aviv music venue, and leads projects like the Daniel Sarid Trio and URU.

 

His work fosters artistic exploration, community, and education, highlighting jazz’s expressive and therapeutic power.

For the past decade, Sarid has led URU, a trio with bassist Nadav Maysel and drummer Ofer Bymel.

 

After eight years of sonic exploration, they released Eizeh Yom in 2021, blending jazz improvisation with lyrical depth. The album reflects their journey, balancing raw intensity with tender melodies. 

Bring, by Yoni Kretzmer, Daniel Sarid, and Michael Evans, explores the contrast between social and abstract sound.

 

Critics praise its synergy, with Kretzmer’s raw sax, Sarid’s rhythmic piano, and Evans’ dynamic drumming. A deeply introspective jazz experience.

The Daniel Sarid Trio, formed with bassist Gilad Abro and drummer Ziv Ravitz, exemplifies his innovative approach to jazz and improvisation.

 

Their album Loventuruos (2017) received critical acclaim for its articulate, sophisticated, and dynamic compositions, balancing free, rapid, and lyrical jazz elements.
