A first-call collaborator, Bareket has worked regularly with the likes of Joel Ross, Etienne Charles, Camila Meza, Ben Wendel, and Yosvany Terry, and performed with Joshua Redman, Chris Potter, Marta Sanchéz, José James, Aaron Parks, Sullivan Fortner, and many more. ."...music of rhythmic sophistication and lyrical depth...brimming with springy energies and smart details" - Nate chinen, WBGO Jazz”.
