Ayelet Rose Gottlieb Sextet at Jazz Standard
Ayelet Rose Gottlieb Sextet¹s Debut at the Jazz Standard"A commanding vocalist" -- New York Times
"The elegance in this music is juxtaposed against the rawness of its sensuality" -- Billboard
A.R.G. Sextet explores the balance between improvisation and the written page. Though using traditional jazz group instrumentation, the band challenges the assumed role of each of the instruments, particularly the voice. They recently recorded a new CD anticipated to be released in 2008, and will be playing a ³preview concert² at the world renowned Jazz Standard this June. The Sextet's repertoire features compositions and arrangements by Ayelet Rose Gottlieb. She uses her own lyrics as well as poetry by Rumi and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. among others. Arrangements include tunes by Ornette Coleman and Bob Dylan.
June 9th, 7:30 & 9:30pm
