(Andy Statman)
On this edition of New Sounds, listen to music from the new Jewish Renaissance, including works from klezmer-revival musicians like the Klezmatics, and Andy Statman along with radical Jewish music from John Zorn, and world fusion from Wally Brill and Atzilut. Wally Brill's CD The Covenant, reverently combines the sounds and spirit of Jewish incantations with modern ambient, dub, and other electronic music, and you can dance to it. Plus, Hebrew music traditions with Arab rhythms as played on western, African, and Indian instruments from the group Atzilut. Also, the Klezmatics pay tribute to the Yiddish musical legend and clarinet powerhouse Naftule Brandwein, and we hear the latest from talented instrumentalist, composer and bandleader Andy Statman.
