Ayal Tsubery
Ayal's debut album - “Decisions” makes the mixture of Jazz, Israeli, and Middle Eastern music seem effortless and natural and his impressive style of Bass playing is only an addition to the creativity presented in the music.
Taking his first steps as a musician at the age of 14, and inspired by the sounds of Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Miles, and Pastorious, Ayal soon started exploring new territories, refining his craft, studying, and performing. He was born in Israel and it was only natural that his next stop would be overseas. Sure enough, in 2007, Ayal attended Berklee College of Music in Boston. During his time at Berklee, Ayal focused on Jazz performance, arranging, and composing music, while studying with world-class musicians and teachers. Most significantly - he established the social circle that eventually turned into his band – Ayal Tsubery's Group.
The band's sound features a fine blend of traditions rooted in Jazz, Israeli folk, African and Middle Eastern grooves, and old-school gritty Rock 'n' Roll. The compositions are based on strong, sophisticated rhythmic foundations, and are centered around rich, memorable melodies which are hummed by the audience long after the show is over.
Currently residing in Brooklyn, NY, Ayal is rapidly emerging as a significant voice in the music community, regularly performing in and out of NYC both as band leader and side man. After having his debut album released, an East Coast tour will take place in the fall of 2014, right after a summer tour with Tipsy Oxcart.
