Narrative:

Landing teb on jaike arrival; ATC assigned direct jaike at 13;000 ft. I left frequency to obtain the ATIS; but had to listen to it 3 times to copy all the info due to the usual problem of frequency 'bleed-over'. Just as I came back to our primary frequency; ATC asked if we had checked on. The pilot flying replied 'yes' that we had to the controller. At about that instant I noticed our position and altitude. Jaike was just behind us and we were passing approximately 19;000 ft in a slow descent. ATC then turned us 20 degrees to the right and I noticed traffic passing 6 miles off our left 1;000 feet below that would have been a factor if not for the turn. A few seconds later ATC issued us 'direct ilene at 13;000 ft. The controller was quite busy and never mentioned anything about our mistake. I think in retrospect that the ATIS frequency bleed issue is a major cause of distraction for crews landing teb. It takes an inordinate about of time to obtain at a very critical phase of the arrival procedure. I also realize that even when I am busy off-frequency I need to remain more aware of the entire situation.

Title: A Captain on the TEB JAIKE 3 RNAV failed to notice that the First Officer did not descend on the arrival because he was intently monitoring the ATIS; which was difficult to hear because of bleed over.
