Title Description:

Vital Review:
David Krakauer is a clarinetist of astonishing virtuosity whose dual
commitment to both upholding and exploding tradition has taken Klezmer to
places we've never dreamed possible. A former member of the Klezmatics,
Krakauer was featured on a recent album by the Kronos Quartet. This
second CD for Tzadik pays tribute to one of the greatest clarinet
soloists in jazz: pioneer Sidney Bechet. In this extended, multi faceted
suite, the Krakauer trio explores the hidden connections between Bechet
and Klezmer giant Naftule Brandwein - inspired in part by Bechet's
legendary and incredibly rare performance of "My Yiddish Momma." Klezmer,
NY is Krakauer's BECHET JESURUN, and is sure to both delight and raise
more than a few eyebrows.
