About Tamir Hendelman:

He also leads his own trio.

"I must [take] a moment to single out some wonderful and creative solo segments by a young pianist named of Tamir Hendelman. It was a satisfying but strange feeling to...hear a new young voice make some exhilarating and thoughtful solos in the spaces that I used to occupy in those pieces. ...I look forward to hearing more from him."
- Oscar Peterson's Personal Journal, Full Article

"Hendelman played with a fullness of content and intensity, bringing new presentations of tunes. Not a fixed position player, Hendelman wears off the ivory over the entire keyboard. The trio yielded a magnificent product, well worthy of repeated listening."
- Harvey Barkan, LA Jazz Scene (Jul 2003), Full Article

"His playing... was so sensitive, introspective and captivating, that you could literally hear a pin drop in an audience of some 500 people."
- Fred Eckstein, LA Jazz Scene (Oct 2000), Full Article

"Hendelman's playing is firmly in the tradition of Peterson and Green, particularly in regard to its strength and swing, but his touch and use of dynamics... displayed an individual dimension of his talent that warrants greater exposure."
