virtuosity and their down-home origins..."
THE NEW YORK TIMES
A formidable and consummate musician, Andy Statman is known
for his musical wizardry on the mandolin, as well as his
innovative interpretations of Jewish music on the clarinet.
This program covers the genius of Statman from his
distinctive improvisational renditions of klezmer, music of
the Chassidic masters, and American roots (bluegrass and
blues) to original works drawing upon jazz and other
traditions. He is joined by Jim Guttmann (bass) and Larry
Eagle (percussion, drums) in a program that will include
selections from Statman's two new recordings.
