Asaf Yuria

Asaf Yuria is an Israeli tenor saxophonist based in New York, known for a muscular, blues-rooted sound rooted in the hard-bop tradition of Art Blakey and Lee Morgan. Born in 1985 in Tel Aviv, he took up the saxophone at nine and was playing the city's clubs as a teenager before moving to New York and enrolling at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, where he studied with Billy Harper. He led his debut album, PaPa WaWa, in 2018, followed by Exorcisms in 2021, both built around his combo writing and horn arrangements. He has been a member of bassist Omer Avital's quintet and works widely across the New York jazz scene.
