Bassist, composer, producer and music educator, Shimon Ben-Shir grew up in Israel, surrounded by the sounds of Middle Eastern music. In 1990 was one of the founding members of the Bustan Abraham Band, a Middle Eastern musical group led by the renowned Avshalom Farjun, who had toured the world and performed at many notable jazz and world music festivals. Shimon co-wrote the title composition Bustan, on their first album. In this setting Shimon began to develop and grow as a professional bass player. Shimon came to Boston to attend the jazz program at Berklee College of Music in 1991. Since that time he has immersed himself in the New England music scene, playing in a wide range of bands covering diverse musical genres, including big band, jazz, blues, rock and pop in clubs as well as on television. He graduated from Berklee in 1994. Shimon joined the What's New Jazz Ensemble, a composer collective based in Boston, MA just prior to graduating from Berklee, there he contributed original compositions to favorable reviews.
