Dan Blacksberg's new "Dveykus"
Hasidic doom jazz? Meet Deveykus, by Lincoln Eddy, Alarm Magazine, April 24, 2013.
Trombonist Dan Blacksberg has recruited four other musicians and combined traditional wordless melodies with doom metal for a new project called Deveykus.

It's a Zen kōan through a Jewish lens. [more (includes track recording)]
