Biografia
Ohad Talmor Newsreel
Ohad Talmor is a Saxophonist, Composer and Arranger. He is originally from Israel but grew up in Switzerland and is now a long time New York/Brooklyn resident.

Ohad Talmor holds a Composition Degree from the Manhattan School of Music, now deeply buried in a trunk in his basement.
