For this episode of JAM Live! we hit the road and visited the Yukon Arts Center in Whitehorse. We followed “Jazz Yukon’s” kind invitation to record jazz pianist Tamir Hendelman and his trio from Los Angeles.
Tamir has been in steady demand as educator, pianist and arranger, touring the US, Europe, and Asia. He has performed with some of the great Jazz musicians such as Natalie Cole, James Moody, Gladys Knight, John Pizzarelli and Quincy Jones.
In 2009, Tamir recorded with Barbra Streisand on her album “Love is the Answer”, produced by Diana Krall. He also accompanied Streisand on the piano on her music DVD “One Night Only”, recorded live at the “Village Vanguard” jazz club in New York City. Both recordings topped the Billboard charts.
In October 2017, Tamir Hendelman and his Trio performed at the Yukon Arts Centre with Alex Frank on upright bass and Dean Koba on drums.
