Israeli pianist and composer Guy Mintus is a true citizen of the world. Coming from a mixed heritage of Iraqi, Moroccan & Polish Jews, he is based between Tel Aviv and New York while constantly on the go having recently performed in Brazil, India, Bulgaria, Switzerland, France, Germany and different cities in the US/ Canada. Guy is equally at home whether he’s sharing the stage with jazz legends, composes for classical orchestras, collaborates with masters of traditional music, working with kids or guesting as a soloist with Ska-Punk band Streetlight Manifesto with whom he performed at a sold out Beacon Theater.

Bob Doerschuk Downbeat : „Guy Mintus überschreitet nicht nur die Grenze, er sprengt sie. Seine kühnen Neuinterpretationen der einzelnen Stücke, die von seinen brillanten Begleitern animiert werden, nehmen die Zuhörer mit auf einen Höhenflug, bei dem sie diese Melodien wie zum ersten Mal erleben können.“
Guy Mintus doesn’t just cross the line, he obliterates it. His bold reimaginings of each track, animated by his brilliant sidekicks, take listeners on a rocket ride to heights where they can see these tunes as if for the first time.
