David Krakauer’s Lower East Side Legacy (With special guest Kathleen Tagg): Klezmer NY Style
David Krakauer, one of the most important and influential musicians in new Jewish music and of the vital new wave of klezmer, is known mostly for his amplified sound pushing the boundaries of klezmer to include elements of jazz, rock, funk and hip-hop. In this program, Krakauer presents acoustic versions of his original compositions mixed with classic tunes from the traditional Eastern European Jewish klezmer repertoire along with contributions from his long term collaborator Kathleen Tagg. This is Krakauer’s distinctive sound up close and personal, completely unplugged with the audience experiencing some incredible mind reading between five musicians who have been playing together for years.
