Eve's Women

Daphna Sadeh

Renaissance Man Overview:

Israeli born Daphna Sadeh, also known as Daphna Sadeh Neu, is now enriching the British cultural scene, being based in the UK since 2002. Ms. Sadeh is a composer and double bass player gifted with unusual depth and imagination as well as outstanding musicianship and seemingly boundless energy and enthusiasm.
After graduating from the Manhattan School of Music in New York, Daphna Sadeh returned to Israel and became a double bass player with The Israel Orchestra, The Israel Northern Orchestra, The Israeli Opera Orchestra, and The Beer-Sheva Sinfonietta, with whom she gained wide experience in symphonic and orchestral chamber music performance from 1990 to 1993. She also joined one of Israel's premier world music ensembles, The East West Ensemble, in 1990, recording and touring with the group in Europe and the Far East until 1997. Additionally, Daphna Sadeh has participated in theatre, dance, and TV productions in New York and Israel. In 1997, she formed the all female group Eve's Women, whose speciality is a fusion of jazz, klezmer, and rock. Ms. Sadeh's compositions are an integral part of the group's repertoire. The summer of 2003 saw Eve's Women perform in a joint concert with Israeli folk legend Chava Alberstein in Albany, NY, before a crowd of some 4,000 who gave the ensemble a rupturous reception. 2002 saw Daphna Sadeh forming a further ensemble, Daphna Sadeh And The Voyagers, with whom she recorded her most recent album, "Out of Border". The Voyagers present contemporary world jazz at its organic best, based on mainly Middle Eastern music, including traditional Jewish and Arabic music, blended with a distinctly classical approach. The melody reign supreme both in Daphna Sadeh's compositions for the ensemble as well as in their imrovisations.
As a composer, Daphna Sadeh's works not only reflect but organically integrate the great diversity of musical cultures she has experienced, from Western Classical to Middle Eastern/Arabic Classical music, traditional Jewish music from the Mizrakhic and Sephardic traditions, and beyond. Her compositions are like a seamless musical tapestry, weaving together different traditions in a natural, unforced manner. Likewise, in her ensembles Ms. Sadeh brings together performers from a variety of contrasting backgrounds and traditions, fascilitating natural, organic cross-cultural dialogue.
Daphna Sadeh's numerous performing credits, with various ensembles, include prestigeous international world music and jazz festivals such as The International Red Sea Jazz Festival (Israel), The International Jazz and Blues Festival (Tel Aviv, Israel), The Oris Jazz Festival (UK), The Roskilde Festival (Denmark), The Beijing Music Festival (China), The International Three Cultures Festival (Spain), The Jewish Music Festival (Berlin, Germany), Europa Jazz Festival Du Mans (France), Celebrate Brooklyn (USA), and Mercat De Les Flors (Barcelona, Spain). Her recording credits include "Zurna" with The East West Ensemble (1993), "The Galilei Spirit", Arabic-Israeli world music (2000), "Eve's Women" with Eve's Women (2001), and "Out of Border", Daphna Sadeh And The Voyagers (2002/2003).
Warm and charming, Daphna Sadeh is a highly charismatic performer who will hold any audience spellbound. Of graceful, even delicate appearance, Ms. Sadeh might not seem a likely player of that most unwieldy of instruments, the double bass, but that should not fool anybody for she is undoubtably one of the most outstanding masters of this instrument of her generation. Her compositions are often possessed of a haunting beauty, never lacking in musical wit, always sparkling with an unstoppable flow of fresh ideas, sometimes surprising the listener with an undefinable touch of deja-vu, and always speaking straight from and to the heart.
