The Quieter Side of Klezmer

/in /by

Acclaimed klezmer clarinettist/flutist Jonno Lightstone and famed jazz and Jewish music artist Brian Katz combine their talents to explore rarely performed klezmer repertoire: songs from the collection of Russian ethnomusicologist Moyshe Beregovski; tunes by cimbalom virtuoso Joseph Moskowitz; and music of the greatest masters of klezmer clarinet: Dave Tarras, Naftule Brandwine, and Shloimke Beckerman. Bringing together a multitude of musical styles and experience, Jonno and Brian create a variety of diverse moods by weaving the melodies of klezmer music with the sounds and textures of chamber music, modal jazz, Indian raga, and down-home blues. The inviting texture of the classical guitar and flute will especially intrigue listeners who have yet to hear the quieter side of klezmer.
