“It’s a mesmerizing journey we are offered. At first, the flute leads to the piano path of Uriel Herman. every touch is like a slow waltz – a little unbalanced – which drives us; some accelerations, and then the music slows down. Each step in the music leads to a dreamy land..”
Anne Maurellet (La Gazette Bleue, France)
“The audience applauds, stood up and remained standing, claiming three reminders, three times …”

״It is one of the richest, most creative and interesting albums I’ve recently heard in the jazz, classical, ethnic and rock seams.״

“There are some musicians who create the obvious. Few musicians are told that every gesture, every note, every moment, the choice made was not only brilliant, it was the only possibility to create this beauty. It’s obvious. Tonight, Uriel Herman’s quartet smashed the gigantic door behind Brian Blade and his brothers and sisters of the obvious. “

“Four years ago, classically-trained pianist Uriel Herman woke up in a brave new world of instrumentals and improvisation. His debut album Awake proved a refreshing addition to the Israeli jazz scene, and even snuck its way onto Haaretz’s top 20 list. Fresh off back-to-back tours, The Jerusalem Post asked Herman about his latest album, his classical roots and how radio stations feel about his 10-minute jazz rhapsodies. “
Jennifer Gerrnberg (The Jerusalem Post)
“New signee of the Laborie Jazz Label, the pianist Uriel Herman released on January 25, 2019 his new album “Face to Face”. Bearer of all the musical influences of the artist, the opus invites us to enter a world whose shores oscillate between fire and meditation. Something to discover.”

“Epic multi-genre masterpiece”
The jewish standard (USA)
“Herman’s group resembled insolent heretics as they performed untoward acts on a form that’s often treated like a fragile antique by their American counterparts. Pianist Herman, saxophonist and flautist Uriel Weinberger, bassist Avri Borochov and drummer Haim Peskoff exuded correspondingly rebellious swagger. “
