About

Jazz Saxophonist
& Bandleader

Inbar Solomon is a jazz saxophonist, bandleader, and composer whose sound sits at the intersection of bebop tradition and a deeply personal contemporary voice. Born in Israel and now based in New York City, he leads his own sextet — presenting original compositions and arrangements that have earned him a devoted following across the U.S., Israel, and Europe.

He studied at The New School College of Performing Arts, earning a BFA in Jazz/Contemporary Music and receiving the Music Dean's Award — one of the school's highest honors. A student of the tradition and a forward thinker, Solomon brings rare technical command and raw artistic presence to every bandstand.

His playing has been described as placing him among NYC's most prestigious jazz mesmerists — a voice immediately identifiable, impossible to ignore.
