Yoav Shlomov with his guitar — press portrait

"One of the highly talented musicians… This young man is without doubt an outstanding musician with great qualities of music perception, music knowledge, music technique and extended capabilities!!"

— Billy Harper

"It was indeed a pleasure to work with a guitarist as dedicated and hard-working as Yoav."

— Reggie Workman

Bio

Yoav Shlomov is a jazz guitarist, composer and producer from Tel Aviv. His playing moves easily between straight-ahead swing, modern harmony and groove — a genre-less approach that stays recognizably his own whether he's leading a trio or scoring to picture.

He has played from Smalls and FatCat in New York to the Red Sea Jazz Festival, Beit Haamudim and Jazz Kissa in Tel Aviv, and has played in jam sessions alongside Billy Harper, Reggie Workman, Larry Goldings, Omer Avital and Stacy Dillard. His work as a sideman and collaborator spans James Francies, Shlomo Gronich, Eli Magen, Tom Oren, Adi Rennert, Yonatan Daskal, Ofri Nehemya and Tomer Bar, with airplay on 88fm, Galatz, KZ Radio and Kan 11.

Away from the bandstand, Yoav writes and produces music for picture — corporate films and documentary — and has an album of original music licensed through Artlist. His own releases include 3/4 and Like Sonny (2025) and Hell Nah, Tired and i cAn feel u NoW (2024).
