Kriss is a young dynamic flutist, whose musical style
encompasses both jazz and Latin sounds. As a pivotal
member of the Israeli jazz scene, he has performed in
such Tel Aviv venues as Camelot, The Left Bank, the
Tel Aviv Art Museum and the Red Sea International Jazz
Festival. In New York, Kriss has played at The Blue
Note, Birdland, Smalls, Nell's, Fat Cat, Cleopatra's
Needle, Forbidden City, Zinc Bar, Smoke, The Cutting
Room, Nuyorican Poet's Café, and Jules among other
venues. Kriss can be heard performing regularly as
part of the Ray Santiago Afro-Cuban Band, and fronting
his own jazz quartet in addition to other projects.
Kriss's unique sound won him the support of the
Jerusalem Department of Cultural Affairs, which
sponsored his debut recording Sababa (Yellow
Submarine, 2000). His collaboration with critically
acclaimed pianist Jon Regen led to the release of Tel
Aviv, recorded live at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art
Concert Hall (HiTone Records, 2001). His latest
recording project features original compositions along
with fresh arrangements of traditional Israeli and
Hebrew songs. |
