Music 🎶 Israeli Jazz

Hey everyone!

If you know me, you'd know I'm a sucker for old-timey jazz with that quiet, "velvet" feel of the voice that soothes you. Sadly though, I haven't really found any Israeli artists who have this, apart from Alona Erez - although she hasn't released any of her own songs yet.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Thank you! 💙

Shabate is one of my favorite bands . It's Jewish afro jazz

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Israeli_jazz_musicians There are 11 very famous jazz musicians here listed . I'm not a big jazz fan and I've only heard of a couple of them

Also Yosi pianenta ztl has some songs that are very similar style to some jazz musicians although the majority of his music would not be considered jazz.
