Nadav Haber

A producer and woodwind player at the intersection of tradition and forward-thinking sound, Nadav Haber crafts a distinctive blend of Ethio Jazz and electronic music. Drawing on the modal depth and rhythmic intricacy of Ethiopian musical traditions, and on Middle Eastern music, his work fuses expressive live improvisation with modern production—moving fluidly between Jazz House, Organic House, and groove-driven electronica. His 2007 recording Addis Mist marked a defining moment in his artistic path. A fully acoustic project, it was the culmination of years immersed in traditional Ethiopian music, shaped alongside deep jazz influences from John Coltrane and Charles Mingus. The result was a nuanced rearticulation of Ethio Jazz—rooted in tradition yet guided by a bold, exploratory improvisational voice. This foundation would later inform his transition into electronic forms, where those same sensibilities are translated into a contemporary sonic landscape. As both a performer and producer, Nadav Haber brings a strong improvisational voice into the studio and onto the stage, creating music that feels organic, immersive, and rhythmically alive. His sound speaks to listeners across jazz and electronic scenes alike—bridging cultures, eras, and dancefloors.
