“David  Krakauer  is  such  an  overwhelmingly  expressive  clarinetist  who  moves  so   seamlessly  between  different  genres  that  for  a  minute  you’d  almost  think  that  there’s  no   appreciable  difference  between  jazz,  klezmer  and  formal  classical  music.”
— Will Friedwald, The Wall Street Journal
“I may have just heard God – and he plays the clarinet. David Krakauer… is not just an utterly distinctive benchmark, he extends his instrument’s potential in ways that mess with one’s mind, while underpinning this with that fathomless emotional content.”
— John Shand, The Sydney Morning Herald
“Ebullient clarinet Wizard.”
— Time Out New York

Krakauer & Tagg’s Good Vibes Explosion

It’s a party and everyone’s invited!! Let the sound of David Krakauer’s unbridled clarinet together with his amazing crew of musicians sweep you away in a cathartic evening of joy and affirmation. You’ll be greeted by an MC who will encourage you to join the festivities, look your neighbors in the eye, wish ‘em well, and throw yourself into the energy of the room. And most of all, in these uncertain times, it’s a chance for performers and audience alike to celebrate our common humanity and throw a metaphorical “Mazel Tov Cocktail” up in the air to light up the world!

David Krakauer’s Lower East Side Legacy with special guest Kathleen Tagg : Klezmer NY Style

with Will Holshouser (accordion) Jerome Harris (basse) Michael Sarin (drums)

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 with the audience experiencing some incredible mind reading between five musicians who have been playing together for years.
