"The keys are under the rug, just come on in" - with these words the Berlin based - Israeli singer-songwriter Yael Nachshon Levin invites you to experience her new studio album "Tigers and Hummingbirds".
This festive Album Release Concert brings together a dream ensemble that includes outstanding musicians from around the globe such as Justin Stanton (Snarky Puppy), Mor Biron (Berliner Philharmoniker), Haggai Cohen Milo (Omer Klein Trio), Tomer Moked Blum (Fink, Patricia Kaas) and Tom Osander (Damien Rice).
This unique album of Jazz, Indie and Classical mixture, illustrates Yael’s healing journey from PTSD, through darkness and despair all the way to hope and transformation. This is undoubtedly Yael's most vulnerable and raw album, on which she generously reveals some of her own deepest hurts and encourages others to do the same.
‘Tigers and Hummingbirds’ is Levin's fifth studio album and her second on LowSwing Records, following 2019's successful LP ‘Shining Long After They're Gone’.
Throughout the songwriting process, Yael was joined by legendary bassist Greg Cohen, who brought in his many years of experience working with Tom Waits, Ornette Coleman, Lou Reed and many others.

"Die ersten Alben, die sie aufnimmt, klingen so, dass man sie im Plattenregal in die Nähe von Amy Winehouse und Leonard Cohen sortieren würde. Auf dem Album, das sie jetzt in einem streng computerfreien Berliner Hinterhofstudio aufgenommen hat, singt sie erstmals auf Englisch, und zwar so, dass man die Platte bedenkenlos in die Nähe von Nina Simone stellen könnte". (Peter Richter about "Shining Long After They're Gone", Süddeutsche Zeitung, 2019)
