About This Podcast

Internationally renowned klezmer trombonist Dan Blacksberg sits down for in-depth and informal conversations with musicians and other artists whose work has made them an integral part of the klezmer world. Listeners get to go behind the scenes of the lives and work of the individual artists, and the modern history of klezmer music. We’ll talk about memorable moments in our artistic development, bring up wild performance stories, and ruminate what it’s like to be connected to this international community that makes up the klezmer world.
