Or Bareket

Jazz bassist, composer and bandleader Or Bareket brings a quartet to The Yard Manchester, with a line-up of saxophones, piano, bass and drums. The project draws on Bareket's work within the New York jazz scene.

Or Bareket is a bassist, composer and bandleader who has become a prominent figure in jazz on the New York scene and internationally. Bareket leads a quartet whose albums SAHAR (2022) and Y?M (2024) document its approach, combining rhythmic precision, a lyrical bass voice and a groove-led sense of direction in both playing and writing.

Bareket is also in steady demand as a sideman. Collaborations include regular work with Joel Ross, Etienne Charles, Camila Meza, Ben Wendel and Yosvany Terry, along with performances alongside Joshua Redman, Chris Potter, Marta Sánchez, José James, Aaron Parks and Sullivan Fortner.

On this evening, the quartet is made up of Godwin Louis on saxophones, Esteban Castro on piano, Or Bareket on bass and Savannah Harris on drums. The Yard Manchester is a venue in the city that hosts concerts and shows, and the evening suits listeners interested in contemporary jazz from the New York circuit.
