Seeing
as my blog is named after my band "Ancestral Groove", I thought I
would share this clip of a concert I did recently to introduce you to
all these amazing musicians who I've had the privilege of working with
for many years.This video is from the opening of the amazing Museum of the
History of Polish Jews in Warsaw.

Welcome to Ancestral Groove!
Welcome to my
brand new blog titled "Ancestral Groove". That's also the name of my
band where I bring together the music of my Eastern European Jewish
ancestors with the contemporary pulse and sounds of New York today.
Along with my concerts as a soloist with orchestra and chamber musician,
the sound world I've created with "Ancestral Groove" kind of sums up my
whole aesthetic in a nutshell. And fyi: the by-line references the
title of a piece written by great friend Daniel Goode. Performing
Daniel's solo clarinet piece "Circular Thoughts" back in the late 80s
helped me start to get deeper into circular breathing: a technique that
I seem to be closely associated with these days.
So here goes! I'm excited to be launching my blog and hope you all enjoy some of my reflections as I travel around the globe.
