Tal Gamlieli & Change of Heart
Upcoming Shows
Tal’s organic trio has been touring and selling out venues since
2014. Some notable venues include the International Music
Showcase in Israel (2017), the Panama Jazz Festival, The Tel
Aviv Jazz Festival, The Bansko Jazz Festival, The S.P.A.C.E club
in Chicago and the Lilypad Jazz Club in Boston.
Important collaborators of Tal and his trio include saxophonists
Dayna Stephens (Sunnyside & Criss Cross), George Garzone and
the trumpet player Avishai Cohen.
Tal is a recipient of a Downbeat Magazine Award for Outstanding
Performance.
Since completing his master’s degree at the New England
Conservatory in Boston in 2008, Tal shared the stage with some of
the world’s leading jazz musicians such as Danilo Perez, Jerry
Bergonzy, Joanne Brackeen, Liz Wright and many other
outstanding performers.
Tal grew up in a small community of Yemenites, Moroccans and
Kurds in the Jerusalem hills. Tal’s father’s family immigrated to
Israel from Kurdistan bringing with them the music and tribal
dances of the region. From the other side, Tal's mother’s family
that fled from Germany in 1936 exposed Tal to the world of
classical music and the European culture. Tal's music is influenced
from his background. His upbringing led him to build a rich musical
style that is reflected in his compositions such as "Negev," Tal’s
arrangement of the Jewish song "Dror Yikra" which combines
North African rhythms with a Yemenite melody and "Dania" based
on the Kurdish Debka dance rhythm.
