Nachum put the spotlight on another great Kulturfest presentation this morning as he hosted the legendary Andy Statman on JM in the AM to preview his June 20th performance at Joe’s Pub. Nachum and Andy had a great conversation about Andy’s career, performances, and Jewish music in general. “Andy Statman, one of his generation’s premier mandolinists and clarinetists, thinks of his compositions and performances as ‘spontaneous American-roots music and personal, prayerful hassidic music, by way of avant-garde jazz.’ This modest man takes for granted that a performer might embody several worlds in his art, and seems humbled by the fact that his music, like his story, is extraordinary.” Visit Andy’s website HERE.
