Andy Statman performs a two-set show with his brand new Jewish music trio, featuring him on accordion and clarinet, which leads off a double bill capped by his bluegrass quartet.

Had there been a planetarium in 19th-century Galicia, or a kosher deli in Depression-era Kentucky, Andy Statman’s music might have been playing in the background. Meandering through time, geography, and culture in a few passionate, organic gusts of music, neither the man nor his inimitable hybrid sound has a very clearly defined “before” or “after.” Statman, one of his generation’s premier mandolinists and clarinetists, thinks of his compositions as a spontaneous, American-roots form of very personal, prayerful hasidic music, by way of avant-garde jazz.

“Andy Statman, clarinet and mandolin virtuoso is an American visionary …”
-The New Yorker

” … One of the most important Jewish creative artists of the postwar era.”
-The Jerusalem Post
