"...(A) beautiful and new experience. It has the heart of klezmer music, which Mr. Statman, a clarinet and mandolin virtuoso, is most famous for performing, but it's not klezmer. It has the spirit of the border-pushing jazz of the 60's, but it's not really jazz either. It's the music of Jewish mystics, but interpreted not as a tradition to be preserved but as a spiritual path to be followed in as personal a manner as possible." NEW YORK TIMESStatman began his recording career as a teenager in the 60s as a session man for people like Bob Dylan, Vassar Clements, Jerry Garcia and David Bromberg. His almost 30 recordings, both solo and as part of compilations, include Songs of Our Fathers, recorded with mandolinist David Grisman. This CD sold over 60,000 copies with no advertising. Statman also recorded In The Fiddler’s House with violinist Itzhak Perlman. In addition to his own recordings, Statman appears on over 150 recordings of other musicians. He was nominated for a 2008 Grammy for Best Country Instrumental Performance for the “Rawhide!” track on his new CD East Flatbush Blues.
