The debut performance of Israel's hottest new klezmer-jazz group, Ashkenoise, a new Israeli klezmer big band with roots in the classic pre-war sound from New York and Eastern Europe. Ashkenoise doesn't stop there- their repertoire includes new klezmer from a jazz perspective, as well as original settings of 20th Century Yiddish poetry by such beloved poets as Avraham Sutskever and Moyshe Leyb Halpern. With a roster of Israel's top jazz and ethnic musicians, and led by Davka violinist and composer, Daniel Hoffman, Ashkenoise is the next step in new Ashkenazi music. The 7-piece band includes Dani Benedict on drums, Ben Danzig on bass, Kobi Solomon on reeds, Vitaly Podolsky on Accordion, Gershon Waiserfirer on valve trombone, and Arad Yeni on trumpet.  for booking information, visit www.ashkenoise.com
