Music Aperitivo: David Krakauer’s Lower East Side Legacy w/ Kathleen Tagg

Join us at Rizzoli Bookstore on Sunday, October 19 at 4:30pm for 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 and the audience will experience some incredible mindreading between five musicians who have been playing together for years. Lineup: David Krakauer, clarinet; Will Holshouser, accordion; Leo Traversa, bass and Michael Sarin, drums with special guest Kathleen Tagg, keyboard.
