Bio
"Madof is a powerhouse...both a delicate and a hard-rocking player" All About Jazz
"He essays with Jim Hall-like sensitivity alternated with a Hendrixian abandon." Guitar One
Guitarist/composer Jon Madof's musical collaborations cover the spectrum of the vibrant New York City music scene, from recordings and sold-out shows with John Zorn and Marc Ribot to genre-busting work alongside Frank London, Matisyahu and others. With his 'Jewish power trio' Rashanim, he has recorded extensively for John Zorn’s Tzadik Records label; Rashanim's latest CD on Tzadik is Shalosh (2006). Jon performs extensively throughout the US and Europe.
