Event Description: Wiesenberg has spent the past decade collaborating on stage and in the studio, interpreting a range of live music from such diverse artists as Antonio Sanchez, Melissa Aldana, Billy Hart, Jeff “Tain” Watts, Rodney Green, Gilad Hekselman, Lage Lund, Seamus Blake, Ben Wendel, Will Vinson, Joel Frahm, Chano Dominguez, Aaron Goldberg, Shai Maestro and Uri Caine. An orchestral frontiersman, he’s composed critically acclaimed arrangements for Camila Meza’s Ámbar (Sony Masterworks, 2019), Ari Hoenig’s Nonet, and multiple arrangements for the Metropole Orkest.

In 2018, the Tel Aviv native released his long-awaited debut recording Roads Diverge to effusive praise from peers and critics. “Being about the power of choice and making choices, Roads Diverge shows enough assertiveness for us to conclude that Wiesenberg has made the right ones,” says JazzTrail’s Filipe Freitas.

"...his way with melody is as fun as his knack for clever arrangements... It all adds up to a very colorful debut full of promise and heart. Whatever roads Noam Wiesenberg chooses in the future, we should have great pleasure in hearing him tell all about them." (All About Jazz)
