Born and raised in Israel but now living in the Boston suburbs, Issi Rozen is an expressive, soulful post-bop guitarist whose influences range from Jim Hall, Pat Metheny, and Joe Pass to Middle Eastern music. The airy style of guitar playing that Hall and Metheny (who was greatly influenced by Hall but became quite distinctive himself) are known for has clearly had a major impact on Rozen's playing -- like Hall and Metheny, Rozen isn't the sort of guitarist who goes out of his way to cram as many notes as possible into his solos.
