Trio Shalva Born and raised in Israel, each of the musicians eventually found themselves in the heart of New York, where they spent years developing their individual style and technique. In 2009, Assaf Gleizner (Piano, Melodica), Koby Hayon ( Bass, Acoustic Guitar , Oud), andNadav SnirZelniker (Drums, Percussion) came together for their first gig, in which they performed original compositions and arrangements of traditional Israeli repertoire. It only took one show for them to understand the serendipitous connection that was underway. In result, the three musicians moved forward as Trio Shalva, choosing the name for its representation of the Hebrew word for “serenity”. The trio is set to explore both new and arranged compositions, combining elements of Jazz with MiddleEastern, Israeli & Jewish influences. Trio Shalva is happy to announce the release of their new album:"Riding Alone". Trio Shalva has shared their music at renowned venues such as The Belleayre Music Festival in Highmount, NY and Caffe Vivaldi in New York City, synagogues, community centers and non-profits. Enjoy the ride. The Trio members are: Assaf Gleizner (Piano and Melodica) Koby Hayon (Bass Guitar, Acoustic Guitar and Oud) Nadav Snir-Zelniker (Drums and Percussion) For More info visit: www.trioshalva.com
