Joshua Moshe’s original music is firmly rooted in jazz but clearly draws inspiration and influences from outside the genre, owing much to the rhythms and production sensibilities of contemporary styles like hip-hop and electronica, alongside traditional folk music influences from Moshe’s background.

Far from merely reinterpreting such styles with a jazz instrumentation, Joshua’s approach goes much deeper, incorporating and flipping all of these elements on their head whilst fully embracing the rawness and expressive qualities of improvised jazz music resulting in something that is at once both new and old, innovative yet rooted in tradition, historic but contemporary.

Through his band, Erez, Joshua reimagines Niggunim - the spiritual and meditative wordless song forms of Hassidic Judaism - and Traditional Jewish Folk songs from all over the world as vehicles for jazz improvisation.

From Ladino music, Moroccan Piyyutim, Niggunim, Yiddish Folk songs of the European Ghetto and more, Moshe explores the common threads that are sewn through Jewish music for thousands of years throughout generations and places.

Instead of performing the songs in a standard form, Erez use the songs and melodies as vehicles for improvisation to explore and experiment between the familiar and novel, between ancient and modern.
