Yale Strom & Hot Pstromi Present Jews, Jazz & Pastrami at Dweck-lec'-tic at Brooklyn Public Library Dweck Auditorium and Outdoor Plaza

About

Join us to celebrate the sounds of the 1920s to 50s, when jazz and klezmer happily intermarried. Jewish musicians learned to speak "jive", while African American musicians dug the music as much as they dug the Jewish deli cuisine after their gigs! Tunes and songs from Cab Calloway to Dave Tarras will be presented with a tasty dose of improvisation on the side. Hot Pstromi includes the world renowned artists David Licht (percussion), Norbert Stachel (reeds), Peter Stan (accordion), Sprocket (bass), Elizabeth Schwartz (vocals) and Yale Strom (violin).

This program is supported in part with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
