**Elegant and deep, adventurous and uplifting — Nigun Quartet (sax, piano, bass, drums) boldly places traditional sacred Jewish music in an experimental contemporary jazz context.**
Juxtaposing dreamy soundscapes with deliberate rhythms, their music is a delicate balance of contagious rock-band energy and understated finesse. Nigun's surprising sound has a unique resonance and consistently attracts diverse, enthusiastic audiences the world over.
In combining the Hasidic melody's simplicity with the harmonious complexity of jazz, Nigun gently coaxes their audience into a profoundly moving live music experience.
In their seven years of activity, Nigun has performed at distinctive venues and jazz festivals throughout the world — including **France** (Jazz n' Klezmer, Paris & Montpellier), **Austria** (Porgy & Bess, Vienna), **Hungary** (Jewish Culture Festival & Opus Jazz Club, Budapest), **Germany** (Usedom Festival, Berlin, Enjoy Jazz Festival, Heidelberg), **Israel** (Jerusalem Jazz Festival, Israel Music Showcase Festival, Red Sea Jazz Festival) and many more. The quartet has been aired on top jazz stations from the UK to Japan, and received widespread international acclaim for both studio albums.
