05/19/2006 It’s What You Get When You Mix Klezmer With Dixie The Windsor Terrace Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library was filled to capacity to hear Old Red Wine, Shlomo Leiderman’s sextet, perform a fusion of Klezmer and Dixieland music. The Windsor Terrace Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library was filled to the rafter as more than 200 people came to hear Old Red Wine, Shlomo Leiderman’s sextet, which played a geshmak (delicious) fusion of Klezmer and Dixieland music. Residents from Windsor Terrace and beyond, coming from as far away as New Jersey and the Bronx, witnessed the musicians’ energy, focus, creativity, and talent. The synthesis of the two musical traditions not only creates a unique musical style but also proves that the universal language of music, can unite people of different roots, traditions, and confessions. Because jazz was once a forbidden art in the former Soviet Union, with popular slogans such as “If today you are playing jazz, tomorrow you’ll betray your Motherland,” Old Red Wine felt it was significant to honor those musicians who didn’t enjoy the liberties of playing jazz, during this Jewish Heritage Month, celebrated throughout May. Among the performances’ highlights was when bassist Lev Zabeginsky played solo on balalaika while the band played famous Tumbalalaika. Leiderman, composer, arranger and keyboardist, has lived in Israel for 30 years where he was the musical director of Yiddishshpiel Theater in Tel Aviv. The Windsor Terrace Library is located at 160 East 5th Street at Fort Hamilton Parkway. UPCOMING CONCERTS April 26, 2009, 4pm.
