Biography
Itamar Borochov (born 1984, raised in Jaffa) is an Israeli-born jazz trumpeter, flugelhornist, composer, and arranger currently based in New York.
He began playing trumpet at the age of eleven and immersed himself in the discovery of jazz, inspired by the jazz trumpet lineage of Louis Armstrong, Clark Terry, Miles Davis, Kenny Dorham, Lee Morgan, and Booker Little through to Wynton Marsalis, and citing the influence of Ben Webster for his assured yet wistful warm airy tone. In 2007 Borochov relocated to New York, where he was taught by Barry Harris and studied at the New School.
Alongside touring worldwide with the Itamar Borochov Quartet, Borochov has served as trumpet player, arranger and co-producer for world music band Yemen Blues and collaborated with Jewish-Moroccan liturgist Rabbi Haim Louk, performed with, and composed for, The New Jerusalem Orchestra, and recorded with Israeli rock musician Dudu Tassa.
