Oded Tzur

Oded Tzur (born January 5, 1984) is an Israeli, New York City based saxophonist, composer, bandleader and educator.

[2] His sound on the tenor saxophone results from a technique he developed while studying Indian Classical Music, which has been credited with giving his instrument pioneering dimension and depth.

[6] Tzur first presented Middle Path in an academic context during the 2011 British Saxophone Congress in Trinity College of Music.

[8][9] Tzur's latest version of his quartet features Nitai Hershkovits on the piano and Johnathan Blake on drums, while Petros Klampanis remains on the bass chair.

[14] Additionally, Tzur's unexpected performance of "Can't Help Falling In Love With You", made famous by Elvis Presley, was credited with confirming the universal nature of his work.
