Klezmer Salon
Guy and The Yehudas
Jacksonville’s only Klezmer band (as far as we know)
Saturday, January 26 – 6:30 pm
1423 Newcastle Street, Brunswick
The band has been dazzling audiences with their brilliant technique and style,
playing at the St. Augustine Romanza Festivale, Baptist churches and bar mitzvahs.
– and also the Jacksonville JazzFest for a couple years.
Klezmer?
Think: Eastern European folk… meets Fiddler on the Roof … meets jazz… meets dance tunes. Promise: you won’t stay sitting on your keister.
Please feel free to get up and dance if your doctor allows it.
The Band:
Kenneth Every, the Principal Timpanist of the Jacksonville Symphony, formed the group in 2012 and named it
after Guy Yahuda, a virtuoso Israeli-American clarinetist. Kenneth was also a fellow with the New World Symphony.
Ran Kampel: Principal Clarinet of Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra and a fellow with the New World Symphony.
James Jenkins, Principal Tuba in the Jacksonville Symphony brass section.
Dennis Hunsicker, on accordion, has a four year degree in accordion.
And! A surprise fifth member on percussion.
We hope that you enjoy this soulful music that seems to touch everyone who hears it.
