Violinist/Composer Benjamin Sutin to Release His Second Album MESHUGENAH with KLAZZ -MA-TAZZ
OneTrickDog* Records is pleased to announce release of Meshugenah, violinist Benjamin Sutin's second album of Klezmer-inspired contemporary music with Klazz-Ma-Tazz on June 15, 2018. Klazz' 2016 debut album, Tangibility, has been described as “one of the year's best.” Like the earlier album, Meshugenah is “part noir jazz, part Klezmer, part Balkan and Middle Eastern,” and “astonishingly original.” (Music Daily). The tracks include both originals and re-inventions of iconic Yiddish vaudeville tunes, and reflect Sutin's effort to “do with this repertoire what Charlie Parker and John Coltrane did with Broadway songs, establish a new Great American Song Book.” The tracks re-imagine the music of Sutin's childhood in a contemporary mode, borrowing from varied folk traditions as well as from contemporary jazz, rock and funk. Ultimately, however, they are linked by an exploration of what Sutin calls the search for nostalgia and novelty.
