Watch Israeli Saxophonist Daniel Rotem Perform on The Checkout Live at Berklee

Daniel Rotem

Since graduating from the Berklee College of Music, the Israeli tenor saxophonist Daniel Rotem has been busy racking up life experiences — from performing at the White House to touring on behalf of the State Department to apprenticing with legends as part of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Performance.

For this Checkout Live at Berklee webcast, Rotem draws from his debut album, Be Nice, which he independently released in February. Rotem leads a quartet with Mira Sprague on piano, Jared Henderson on bass and Roberto Giaquinto on drums.

For more than 15 years, Simon Rentner has worked as a host, producer, broadcaster, web journalist, and music presenter in New York City. His career gives him the opportunity to cover a wide spectrum of topics including, history, culture, and, most importantly, his true passion of music from faraway places such as Europe, South America, and Africa.
