Nitai Hershkovits, 2021


His playing on Cohen's Duende was described by critic John Fordham as "somewhat reminiscent of a silky-toned old piano swinger such as the late Hank Jones".[1] His own album, I Asked You a Question, was a collaboration with Rejoicer, an "Israeli beatmaker".[2] On it, Hershkovits plays piano, Fender Rhodes, synthesizers and clarinet, and adds vocals on two tracks, while Rejoicer plays drums and adds programming.[2]
