Or has over twenty years of experience playing guitar. He has roots in blues, rock, funk and world music. He plays an interesting mix of classic jazz standards fused with hip-hop and world music. Or plays in several bands in New Orleans, with his primary focus on his own group Or Shovaly Plus. Or’s ultimate artistic goal was always to create an individual style of music, incorporating musical influences from his life journey, which include international music from his family ties to Israel, Yemen and Iran, African through his work with Kumasi and Jazz, the perfect idiom to facilitate his musical vision. The ‘Plus’ in the band’s title references Sonny Rollins' Plus 4 and is intended to represent all the different projects, styles of music and musicians with whom Or has the opportunity to work. Or Shovaly Plus released its first EP in 2022, Live at the New Orleans Jazz Museum, which includes Or's own personal arrangements to classic jazz standards, arranged with oriental and hip-hop motifs. Influences on the EP include Live at the Pershing Hotel by Ahmad Jamal, A Love Supreme by John Coltrane and the music from the Israeli Bassist Avishai Cohen. Or Shovaly Plus regularly plays at music venues in New Orleans, including at the House of Blues, Capulet, Frenchmen Street and private events.
