Yaala Ballin Sings Irving Berlin - Album Release
Yaala Ballin Sings Irving Berlin was released in January 2021 on SteepleChase Records. The album is based on a concert called "His Name Was Israel Baline", which presented the composer's works and stories about his life. The CD includes a wide variety of Irving Berlin's songs and features a world class trio.
Born and raised in Israel, vocalist Yaala Ballin moved to New York City in 2004. She has recorded 3 albums – "Travelin' Alone" (Smalls Records), "On The Road" (Gallery Records), "Live Session" (Gut String Records) – and was recently featured on "The Music Of Duke Jordan" (Steeplechase Records) with the Chris Byars Septet, for which she also wrote original lyrics. In addition to appearances in New York City (Smalls, Smoke, Birdland), she tours frequently in Europe and has been featured at festivals and concert series in the Middle East. She was a Vocal Jazz Instructor for the U.S. State Department program "Jazz Futures" (2008 – 2013), a six year cultural diplomacy program administered by the U.S. Embassy in Cyprus, and has conducted workshops for the State Department in Ukraine and Turkey. She has been on faculty at the City College of New York's Vocal Jazz Department and at the Center For Jazz Studies at Tel Aviv Conservatory ( affiliated with the New School For Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York City ), and regularly conducts master classes in the U.S. and internationally.
