  • Description

    Israeli, Canada-based vocalist Ayelet Rose Gottlieb takes the listener on a musical journey to the heart of contemporary Israeli and Palestinian poetry on her album, 'Roadsides'.

    Ayelet composed music to poems by Agi Mishol, Mahmud Darwish, Roni Somek, Naomi Shihab Nye (and more), presenting her unique sound. Special guest Israeli pop-star Alon Oleartchik (Kaveret) adds to accessible nature of this project, as Ihab Nimer enriches the textures with the lush sounds of his oud and violin, rooted in Arabic music traditions.

    Ayelet Rose Gottlieb's unique blend of jazz, Middle-Eastern and Jewish music, combined with her innovative approach to composition and improvisation, has led her to collaborate with imaginative musicians, such as John Zorn, ETHEL (string quartet), Anat Fort (piano), Avishai Cohen (trumpet) and Ihab Nimer (oud).

    She has released three critically acclaimed CDs featuring her original compositions: Internal External (Genevieve, 2004), Mayim Rabim (Tzadik, 2006) and Upto Here | From Here (Arogole Music, 2009). A member of John Zorn's a-cappella quartet Mycale, the group recorded an album of Zorn's music for his series Book of Angels, on 'The Book of Angels Volume 13'.

    Ayelet has performed at Carnegie Hall (USA), Montreal Jazz Festival (Canada), Novara Jazz Festival (Italy), The Jewish Museum (Germany), Tel Aviv Jazz Festival (Israel) and she was commissioned by installation artist Michelle Jaffe to compose and produce music for Wappen Field, a sound-sculpture installation, to be presented at Rutgers University in 2014.
