Itamar Erez & The Adama Ensemble
Itamar's music holds a depth and sensitivity that touches listeners deeply. It blends the delicateness of Middle Eastern music, the freedom found in Jazz and the passion of Flamenco, creating a unique sound all his own. To capture the essence of Itamar's music is to be taken on a journey where different cultures meet in harmony.

In 2003, Itamar formed The Adama Ensemble, to explore the commonality of Middle Eastern, World Music and Contemporary Jazz.

Itamar has released 2 CDs with the Adama Ensemble: "Desert Song" (2006) & "Hommage" (2010).

The ensemble has performed at the Chutzpah! Festival (Vancouver), Red Sea Jazz Festival (Eilat), 100% Jazz Tel Aviv (Paris) and other festivals.

Members of the ensemble are:

Yoram Lachish- Oboe & English Horn
