Ashkenaz Festival: Lightstone/Katz Klezmer Duo

Brian Katz (guitar, piano, vocals), famed jazz and Jewish music artist and Jonno Lightstone, acclaimed klezmer clarinettist/flautist combine their talents to explore some rarely performed klezmer repertoire as well as the beloved pulsating dance music of this exciting genre. Bringing together a multitude of musical styles and experience, they create a variety of diverse moods by weaving together klezmer melodies with the sounds and textures of chamber music, jazz, Indian raga and down home rock’n blues! The inviting texture of the classical guitar and flute will especially intrigue listeners who have yet to hear the more intimate side of klezmer…and when they play some good old-fashioned, up-tempo Jewish dances, you definitely won’t want to just sit there!
