Festo! Festo! We are thrilled to be a partner with the Denver JCC's Klezmer Series featuring Jordan Wax and Jake Shulman-Ment, which comes to the Velvet Elk in Boulder.

 

Hitting the road together for the first time, Jordan Wax and Jake Shulman-Ment draw on decades of combined experience as bearers and innovators of klezmer and Yiddish song. They masterfully traverse oceans and centuries to conjure ancestral melodies and songs, landing in a playfully genre-bending 21st century America. Their live performance, rich with musical virtuosity and the oral history and lore that connect their music to centuries of culture, is a testament to the magic that has sustained secular Yiddish creativity in the face of incredible odds and continues to shed a unique light on the contemporary human condition.
