Yoni Mayraz (Astigmatic/IL) *live*
Fast-rising musician Yoni Mayraz combines jazz with elements of 90’s hip hop, old-school breakbeats and Middle Eastern music to create shimmering new hybrid forms.
A highly-skilled keyboardist and producer, Yoni burst onto the new jazz scene in 2020 with ‘Rough Cuts’, an EP that introduced the world to his unique musical style. Since then the London-based player has collaborated with the likes of Ruby Rushton’s Tenderlonious and Dance legend El-B, and released his critically acclaimed debut album, Dybbuk Tse! On Astigmatic Records.
Dybbuk Tse! propelled Mayraz to the forefront of the international jazz scene, selling thousands of physical copies worldwide, garnering millions of streams on digital platforms, and earning media coverage from outlets such as KEXP, KCRW, BBC 6, Bandcamp Weekly, and CLASH Mag. Mayraz has toured extensively with his band, performing at venues and festivals such as Montreux Jazz Festival, The Jazz Cafe London, Brussels Jazz Festival, Ronnie Scott’s London and more.
Mayraz’s new album, Dogs Bark Babies Cry, is set to be released in fall 2025, exploring fears and desires through musical expression. Backed by bassist Tom Driessler (Yussef Dayes, Adele) and drummer Zoe Pascal, the album showcases Yoni’s distinctive, outward-looking approach to instrumental music, merging jazz elements with modern, experimental, and electronic themes. The album includes guest appearances from Fly Anakin Tenderlonious, Miriam Adefris and JSPHYNX.
