Hillai Govreen Quartet — Jazz from NY

The Hillai Govreen Quartet brings the energy of the New York jazz scene to the intimate 38Riv Jazz Club in the heart of the Marais. Led by saxophonist, clarinetist, and composer Hillai Govreen, the quartet performs original music that balances structure and freedom, lyricism and rhythmic intensity. Each piece unfolds through interaction and spontaneity, reflecting Govreen's strong compositional identity.

Govreen, based in New York, has performed at iconic venues such as Dizzy's Club, The Jazz Gallery, Smalls Jazz Club, and Birdland, and has toured internationally in India, Europe, Israel, Brazil, and the United States. The quartet features Govreen on clarinet and saxophone, Omer Govreen on double bass, Tamir Lifshitz on guitar, and Matheus Jardim on drums. Their music has been described as "both structured and improvised, familiar yet utterly singular."

The 38Riv Jazz Club, located at 38 rue de Rivoli, Paris 4e, is a cozy venue dedicated to jazz and improvised music. This concert offers a rare opportunity to experience a quartet deeply rooted in the contemporary New York jazz tradition, right in the heart of Paris.
