Shlomo Leiderman and Old Red
Wine Klezmer meets Dixieland
Like most young musicians in the 1960's in the Soviet Union,
Shlomo Leiderman went underground to learn about
and play American Jazz. His first love was Louis Armstrong and
Dixieland Jazz, and from there expanded to jazz vanguard of mid 20th
century. In the 1970s, his family moved to Israel where Mr.
Leiderman earned a degree in conducting from the Tel Aviv Music
Academy. Later, as Music Director of the State Yiddish Theater of
Israel in Tel Aviv, he composed and arranged for a number of
productions that toured worldwide. During this time, Mr. Leiderman
also founded and directed, Adom Atiq, an ensemble noted for its
fusion of jazz, Jewish folk and original music. The band played for
17 years, touring Europe and the Americas, including a L.A. music
festival.
Old Red Wine features Alex
Polonsky, trumpet; Haim Fishas, clarinet;
Alex Kaykov, trombone; Lev
Zabeginsky, bass and balalaika, and Mika
Marcovitch, drums, along with Mr.
Leiderman on keyboards.
For the Windsor Terrace Branch, Old Red Wine performs original
work and such Klezmer and Yiddish music classics as Heimisher
Bulgar, Rozenkis mit Mandlen and Arum Dem Fire with jazz twist.
Be prepared for an evening of serious fun by master musicians
complete with the balalaika!
