Nitai Hershkovits (Hebrew: ניתאי הרשקוביץ) (born 21 February 1988) is a jazz pianist and composer.

His playing on Cohen's Duende was described by critic John Fordham as "somewhat reminiscent of a silky-toned old piano swinger such as the late Hank Jones".[1] His own album, I Asked You a Question, was a collaboration with Rejoicer.[2] On it, Hershkovits plays piano , Fender Rhodes, synthesizers and clarinet, and adds vocals on two tracks, while Rejoicer plays drums and adds programming.[2]
