-Shauli Einav’s playful sense of harmonic adventure lends excitement to his very colorful compositions.
His attention to tone is pointed, and one feels he is crafting each note’s sound as much as the pieces themselves.
Shauli’s classical technique then serves as a departure point to express the moods of each melodic idea he reaches for.
Sincerely,
Tamir Hendelman - n/a
“Shaul Einav’s newest compositions feature his distinctive soprano playing,
and Shavu’ot in particular is a showcase for his impressive abilities. It is remarkable that Shaul can be expressive on both tenor and soprano
saxophones." - n/a
“Shauli is extremely talented and has tremendous instinctive love for every
aspect of jazz. His tenor playing is authentic and rooted. He is extremely
imaginative and has the ability to truly improvise at the highest level and
most sophisticated level in the jazz idiom. At the same time, [he] has the
utmost respect for the tradition in jazz and it is this sincerity that makes his
playing so compelling” - n/a

Bio
Shauli Einav is an emerging Jazz saxophonist.
He has already performed with his ensembles on prestigious stages such as the Red Sea Jazz Festival, The Israel Festival in Jerusalem, The Rochester International Jazz Festival, Tel-Aviv Intl Jazz Festival, “The Knitting Factory” NYC, Fat Cat, Smalls and more. Shauli has been invited to perform with some of today’s finest Jazz musicians, including bassist Omer Avital, drummer Johnathan Blake, pianist Aaron Goldberg, guitarists Bob Sneider and Frank Gambale, and the late saxophonist Arnie Lawrence among others.
Saxophonist Walt Weiskopf (Steely Dan) has said of him:
“Shauli is extremely talented and has tremendous instinctive love for every aspect of jazz. His tenor playing is authentic and rooted. He is extremely imaginative and has the ability to truly improvise at the highest level and most sophisticated level in the jazz idiom. At the same time, [he] has the utmost respect for the tradition in jazz and it is this sincerity that makes his playing so compelling” -
Shauli released his debut CD “Home Seek” in February 2008 and was featured in WXXI NPR station in Rochester, also in Israel’s national broadcast station “Kol Hamusika”, Barcelona Jazz Radio & 90.1 Jazz Station of Rochester.
Shauli is also a talented composer and arranger. In the summer of 2007 he completed a transcription project of the nonet recordings made by the late jazz pianist Andrew Hill. The transcriptions were played in the annual Jazz Chamber concert in Kilbourn Hall, Rochester, NY and Shauli was awarded the Billy Joel scholarship for his work.
His composition “Shavu’ot” received an Honorable Mention from ASCAP Young Jazz Composer Competition 2008 and also an ASCAPLUS Award.
Though deeply rooted in be-bop and post-bop, he aims to take Jazz in new directions by combining the musical jargon of his Mediterranean Israeli heritage with the traditional western jazz standard form.
Today, in addition to playing, Shauli resides in NYC and continues to write his own music and is going to release his new album this coming September.
