DAVID KRAKAUER's KLEZMER MADNESS
Clarinetist David Krakauer exudes an emotionally raw yet genial presence, baring a tireless spirit, humor and generosity.
As one of the foremost musicians of the vital new wave of Klezmer, David Krakauer tours the globe with his Klezmer Madness! ensemble. Colliding old world with new, Klezmer Madness! delivers a modern brand of Klezmer with equal parts angst and elation. While firmly rooted in traditional Klezmer folk tunes, the band "hurls the tradition of Klezmer music into the rock era" (Jon Pareles, The New York Times). Krakauer's compositions also pay homage to R&B, jazz, classical and funk.
The former virtuoso clarinettist of the celebrated Klezmatics, who has also appeared as special guest in concert appearances with the prestigious Kronos Quartet, David Krakauer is today one of the most emblematic and talented figures of the truly New York-based new Klezmer music scene.
"David Krakauer serves up Klezmer hotly seasoned with free jazz, blues and experimental rock, all the time cultivating the lyrical, euphoric verve of Jewish soul."
