“As with the music of Haydn, Mozart or Duke Ellington, it is easy to get caught up in the surface beauty of a work and ignore the tremendous craft that goes into it. While Gottlieb is primarily known as a jazz artist, composer, and vocalist her music incorporates elements of Middle-Eastern musical styles, classical composition and post-Sgt. Pepper pop music in a comfortable fusion.“
– Daniel Scheide
