Abe Ovadia has emerged as one of the preeminent guitarists on the New York/New Jersey music scene, and as Musicvox Guitars describes, he is a "Jazz phenom, one of the most innovative guitarists of our time." Since his New York City arrival in 2009, as both as guitarist and composer, Abe has become an essential part of New Yorks jazz scene, frequently performing at its top venues such as The Blue Note, The Iridium, Jazz at Kitano, and The Bar Next Door. As Times Square New York City says, "You can always count on him to happily claim the responsibility of playing some world-class jazz."
Abe is a graduate of Berklee College of Music and several years after earned his masters degree in jazz performance from the highly acclaimed jazz program at New York University, where he was influenced by the likes of Chris Potter, Peter Bernstein and Jean-Michel Pilc. Predominant voices in the industry have recognized Abe's contribution to today's jazz. In 2010, Jeff Levenson of Warner Bros. Records honored Abe as a "Promising Artist of the 21st Century" which lead to an international tour. Abe was also a finalist in the 2016 NYC Jazz Fans Decision for best guitarist.
