Description
In 1956, the album TANZ! was released on Period Records, a subsidiary of Columbia Records that distributed folk and international music. The album was the vision of jazz and klezmer virtuoso clarinetist Sam Musiker, featuring himself and his father-in-law, the great klezmer clarinetist Dave Tarras. Musically, the album was a triumph. But commercially it saw little success. Now, nearly 70 years later, TANZ! is brought back to life at Yidstock with a stellar band performing the album from beginning to end. With Michael Winograd (clarinet, bandleader), Frank London (trumpet), Alec Spiegelman (tenor saxophone, bass clarinet), Will Holshouser (accordion), Shoko Nagai (piano), Zoe Guigueno (bass), and David Licht (drums). YIDSTOCK 2025 is sponsored by WAMC Northeast Public Radio and the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
