NEW SHABBOS WALTZ

David Grisman & Andy Statman

World-class musicians David Grisman and Andy Statman, reunite to further explore the passionate music of their shared Jewish heritage with New Shabbos Waltz, the long-awaited sequel to their highly acclaimed Songs of our Fathers.

This collection of timeless Jewish melodies runs the musical gamut of human emotion, from the ecstatic joy of "Anim Zemiros," propelled by the infectious drumming of Rock legend Hal Blaine, to the bittersweet elegance of "Oifen Pripitchick,” highlighted by the lush tones of Enrique Coria's classic guitar. "Oifen Priptchick" and "Yerushalem Shel Zahav" were featured in the Schindler's List soundtrack, and these renditions are inspired masterpieces. The lighthearted title track, "New Shabbos Waltz" includes playful slide guitar work by Bob Brozman and bouncy bass playing by Samson Grisman, in contrast to the deep emotional power of "Ani Ma'amin," composed by Rabbi Ezriel Fastag in a box car en route to the Treblinka death camp.

Andy Statman's hypnotic clarinet and spirited (and spiritual) mandolin combined with David Grisman's mandolin, mandocello, octave banjo-mandolin and banjo-guitar, creates music that transcends cultural boundaries and speaks straight to the heart.
