Lewis Kahn (L), Guo Gan (R).
First, Frank London (Klezmatics, Frank London Klezmer-Brass
All Stars, etc.) and Lewis Kahn (Fania All-Stars, Orchestra
Harlow, etc.) talk about the long-running love affair between Jewish musicians and Latin music.
Lewis is among many special guests participating in Sunday afternoon's big Town Hall concert, "The
Klezmatics Present Havana Nagila".
Later, we meet Guo Gan, master of the erhu - the Chinese spike
fiddle. Guo plays plenty of traditional music, but he's no purist: He's exploring ways to blend jazz with Chinese traditions. And he has collaborated with everyone from Chinese and Japanese traditional musicians to classical piano great Lang-Lang to French multi-culti jazz players like Ibrahim Maalouf and Nguyen Le and the venerable French world music band Lo'Jo. Guo is in town to
perform solo and in yet another cross-genre collaboration - with the Helen Sung Jazz Trio - this
Tuesday evening at Carnegie Hall's Zankel Hall.
Special thanks to our translator, Ruihan Yang, who is also a talented young musician and composer.
