Jewish musicians have been drawn to jazz since its inception, and have helped create a wider audience for the music and it's African American progenitors.
Greg Wall (Hasidic New Wave, Later Prophets, Klezmerfest) and his long
time associates Aaron Alexander (Midrash Mishmosh, FLKBAS, Jay Clayton, Hasidic New Wave) and Brian Glassman (Lionel Hampton, Andy Statman, Johnny Rodgers, Neshama Carlebach, Randy Brecker), grew up listening to and playing all kinds of jazz. Their early NYC experiences were those of late night jam sessions, downtown jazz joints and apprenticeships with jazz masters. They have used their pedigree to help give birth to a pan global vision of Jewish culture.
On Wednesday, February 6, at the Museum at Eldridge Street, they
celebrate their roots by highlighting seminal works of their jazz heroes, reworking some classics of the original golden era of Jewish
New York, and presenting original music combining the best of jazz, and Jewish and African American roots music.
They are joined by virtuoso pianist Michael Cochrane (Oliver Lake, Clark Terry, Michael Brecker, Sonny Fortune.
