After being discovered at a festival in 2008 as a member of double bassist's Avishai Cohen's Eastern Unit, pianist Shai Maestro performed at the Voll-Damm Jazz Festival where he presented his third album The Stone Skipper. At that time, Maestro's music could be defined as "cinematic, narrative, meditative and sensual, with reminiscences of folklore, always lyrical in any case, both in the slower tempos and in the faster pieces."  

Maestro now returns with two more albums under his belt, The Dream Thief and Human, two recordings that confirm the Israeli musician as one of the great pianists of his generation. While in 2017 he performed in a trio (with his faithful Jorge Roeder on double bass and Ofri Nehemya on drums), now he returns in a quartet, with the addition of Philip Dizack's wonderfully lyrical trumpet, which is integrated into the master trio in a unique way.
