Did you know…
With Abraham Inc., klezmer clarinet virtuoso David Krakauer collaborates with one of the great masters of funk, trombonist Fred Wesley (known for his work with James Brown, Bootsy Collins and Parliament Funkadelic), and beat architect Socalled.
A sold out concert at Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall in December 2006 marked the first step in this collaborative venture which was also a hit at Transmusical de Rennes – one of the largest rock festivals in Europe. Abraham Inc. brought down the house at the historic Apollo Theater in May 2008 with a performance that had the crowd dancing in the aisles.
Klezmer Music is a style of music that is inherently Jewish in nature. The word Klezmer comes from two Hebrew words, clay and zimmer, meaning vessel of music or song. The idea is that the instrument (i.e. violin, clarinet), takes on human characteristics like laughing and crying with a joyous exuberance or a soulful wailing.
