Nascimento is a jazz quintet of veteran musicians working in the north of Israel, each active across many bands and styles. The band grew out of one shared love — jazz.
We play mostly classic jazz — tunes played by Wes Montgomery, Art Blakey, Chet Baker and others — with bossa nova, touches of modern rhythm and original pieces. Not only for the genre's devotees.
A Barry Harris samba, "Nascimento", gave us the name.
Since 2019 we've played Tivon, Carmiel, Ein Harod, Alon HaGalil and Hazorea — and in June 2023 represented Kiryat Tivon at the Night of Culture in Braunschweig, Germany.
