Ayelet Rose Gottlieb

Jerusalem-born musician Ayelet Rose Gottlieb draws on jazz, Middle-Eastern, and Jewish musical influences to forge an exhilaratingly eclectic sound. At once cutting- edge and rooted in tradition, her vibrant compositions are shape-shifting mélanges of textures and rhythms. A frequent collaborator of forward-thinking artists like composer John Zorn, pianist Anat Fort, and the ETHEL string quartet, Gottlieb performs both original works and covers that she reimagines via her one-of-a-kind sensibility.

Ayelet’s NEW ALBUM “SHIV’A” will be released on FEB 5th, 2016 on the NY/Chicago based label 482music, as a LIMITED EDITION VYNIL + DIGITAL RELEASE! Pre-order links will be available soon! Order quickly as supplies are limited indeed!

Mycale’s second release on Masada Book II: Book of Angels series, featuring their arrangements to compositions by John Zorn, sung in Hebrew, Berber, French, Portuguese and Spanish.

Ayelet Rose Gottlieb: Betzidei Drachim [Roadsides]

Read "Ayelet Rose Gottlieb: Betzidei Drachim [Roadsides]" reviewed by Eyal Hareuveni


Israeli, Canada-based vocalist Ayelet Rose Gottlieb attempts in her fourth solo album to portray a possible peaceful vision of the Middle-East through a wise arrangement of Israeli and Palestinian poetry. These poems, all sung in Hebrew (and all translated to English) suggest that behind the conflict, contrasting historical, political and even cultural narratives live people who share like-minded passions, dreams and loves, often in relation to the same shared natural scenery. Gottlieb composed these poems over a long time, few ...

Ayelet Rose Gottlieb: Upto Here | From Here

Read "Upto Here | From Here" reviewed by Elliott Simon


Singer/songwriter Ayelet Rose Gottlieb's last project, an interpretation of the Bible's erotic Song of Songs, was a genre-straddler that succeeded both instrumentally and vocally. With Upto Here | From Here she stretches out with very strong originals in the presence of some NYC jazz stalwarts: drummer Take Toriyama, bassist Ed Schuller, pianist Anat Fort, saxophonist Loren Stillman and trumpeter Avishai Cohen. This modern jazz session highlights her voice as an integral instrument in what becomes a texturally heady setting.

Ayelet Rose Gottlieb: Upto Here From Here

Read "Upto Here From Here" reviewed by Martin Gladu


There is an age-old Jewish blessing that goes, “May you be credited with as many rewards as the seeds of the pomegranate." Considering each bud contains exactly 613 arils--and as many reward possibilities--the saying illustrates the atmosphere of generosity and plenitude surrounding Tishrey celebrations.Singer/composer Ayelet Rose Gottlieb not only loves her pomegranates, but her perky musical persona proves to be somehow analogous to the fruit's astringent, bittersweet taste. At times moderately mischievous and wily, at others more philosophical ...

Ayelet Rose Gottlieb: Mayim Rabim

Read "Mayim Rabim" reviewed by Elliott Simon


Mayim Rabim is replete with compositions that are able to stand on their own as superb improvisational vehicles for a fine eclectic group of musicians--Israeli-born vocalist Ayelet Rose Gottlieb, pianist Anat Fort, clarinetist Michael Winograd (whose development into a world class klezmer-jazz artist continues to impress), drummer Take Toriyama, cellist Rufus Cappadocia, and four additional vocalists--to deliver eleven sensual pieces. Lyrically, these works draw on material from the Bible's most erotic literature, Shir Hashirim, or Song of Songs, each song ...

Ayelet Rose Gottlieb: Internal/External

Read "Internal/External" reviewed by Celeste Sunderland


Fairytales and myths abound with characters like vocalist Ayelet Rose Gottlieb. One recent night the tiny being took the stage at Cornelia Street Café. Dressed in filmy black attire, with a purple beaded, net kerchief wrapped around her cascading dark hair, she resembled a midnight mermaid glittering with dew from the sea. Upon opening her mouth, it seemed the 25 year-old’s ancestry must include those bewitching sirens of Greek legend, though her music is culled from a ...

With her third full-length album, Israeli-born Ayelet Rose Gottlieb has elevated to a rarefied level of artistry. On the new album, Upto Here | From Here, releasing August 11 on her own Arogole Records imprint and distributed through ObliqSound, Gottlieb pulls the art of jazz singing out of its safety zone and infuses it with new possibilities, exploring the human voice in a way that few contemporary singers can or will. And Gottlieb does so seemingly nonchalantly, with the panache ...
