JAZZ CONCERT: ANDY STATMAN TRIO
THE YEAR’S BEST:
RECORDINGS
"Statman treated guests to folk music in the form of a seamless amalgamation of jazz, bluegrass and klezmer. Performing with his incredible trio...Statman revved up the crowd with inventiveness, virtuosity and astonishing improvisations."
"The one-of-a-kind Statman fuses the cross-picking of Jesse McReynolds with the atonal jabs of Albert Ayler, embodying like no other mandolinist jazz’s 'sound of surprise.' "
