Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz Interview Series featuring jazz vocalist Sivan Arbel and pianist Andrea Goretti.

We dive into their 2026 album Bazrima, a deeply expressive duo recording that captures the beauty of musical connection and creative flow. This marks Sivan’s first duo album with the acclaimed Italian pianist, creating an intimate and fluid sonic dialogue.

Bazrima means “flow” in Hebrew — a perfect reflection of the natural musical exchange between the two artists as they move seamlessly between composition and improvisation.

Their music explores both the tension and tenderness of modern life, embracing complexity while ultimately leaning toward unity, balance, and emotional Clarity.

In this interview, we cover:

• How Sivan Arbel & Andrea Goretti met
• The making of Bazrima
• The meaning behind the album’s concept
• Duo performance and improvisation
• Blending voice and piano in modern jazz
