Jazz Concert: Tal Gamlieli Trio (Israel)
"That was a highlight at the Love Supreme Jazz Festival… they absolutely wowed the audience"— Ruth Fisher (Jazz FM)
The Tal Gamlieli Trio is a refined and internationally acclaimed jazz ensemble led by bassist Tal Gamlieli. Since 2007, Gamlieli has been one of Israel’s most sought-after jazz musicians. After earning his master’s degree from the New England Conservatory in Boston, he collaborated with a constellation of jazz stars, including trumpeter Avishai Cohen, pianists Joanne Brackeen and Danilo Pérez, saxophonist Jerry Bergonzi, and vocalist Lizz Wright.
Over the past decade, Tal has performed as a soloist and as part of leading ensembles at prestigious venues and festivals worldwide: Love Supreme Jazz Festival (UK), Enjoy Jazz Festival (Germany), Smalls Jazz Club (New York), Jazz Dock (Prague), Pizza Express (London), ORF Radio Café (Vienna), the Smithsonian Institution (Washington), and the Kimmel Center (Philadelphia), among others.
In 2014, Tal Gamlieli founded his own trio, which made its international debut at the Panama Jazz Festival in January 2016. Since then, the Tal Gamlieli Trio has been actively touring, captivating audiences with its rich sound and effortless musical interplay.
Their debut album, Dania (2017), received critical acclaim, while the follow-up, Change of Heart (2019) — featuring American saxophonist Dayna Stephens — was awarded 3.5 stars by DownBeat Magazine. Gamlieli has also received the DownBeat Magazine Award for Outstanding Performance.
