Jonno Lightstone Klezmer Trio, with Brian Katz (guitar) and Kirill Savransky (accordion)
Jonno Lightstone Klezmer Trio
Acclaimed klezmer clarinetist / flutist Jonno Lightstone, and Brian Katz (guitar, piano), famed jazz and Jewish music artist combine their talents to explore some rarely performed klezmer repertoire. They are joined by Ukrainian-born accordionist and pianist Kirill Savransky, known for the vibrant energy he brings to the stage. Bringing together a multitude of musical styles and experience, they create a variety of diverse moods by weaving the melodies of klezmer and Yiddish song with the sounds and textures of chamber music, jazz, Indian raga, Israeli music and down home rock’n blues! The inviting texture of the classical guitar and flute will especially intrigue listeners who have yet to hear the more intimate side of klezmer. And when they play some good old-fashioned up-tempo Jewish dances with clarinet, piano and accordion, don’t just sit there!
