Amos Hoffman
”With influences that range from the guitar of Charlie Christian to the oud playing of legendary Egyptian composer/singer Mohamed Abdel Wahab, on this album Hoffman soars on the wings of his own daring and inventive interpretations, but with a foundation that allows for his arrival back in the nest of jazz, with musical stories to tell. In the process, among listeners, aural receptors will be delighted, minds awakened, and hearts will be moved.” T.J. English (New York Times best-selling author and jazz aficionado)

AMOS HOFFMAN (pronounced AH-mus) is an Israeli Jazz Guitarist & Oudist known worldwide as a pioneer in fusing the rhythms and melodic themes of the Middle East with Modern Jazz.
Hoffman started playing guitar at the age of 6, and the oud a few years later. He studied guitar privately, and later attended the prestigious Rubin Academy of Music in Jerusalem. His search for new musical experiences led him first to Amsterdam, and then to New York City, where he played jazz with both established musicians and up-and-coming talents like Jason Lindler, bassist Avishai Cohen, and Claudia Acuna. Hoffman has 5 recordings as a leader.
