GERSHON DER YIDDISHER RAGTIME MAN
Explore the rich traditions of Jewish Music (Klezmer) with Gershon, Der Yiddishe Ragtime Man. Gershon is also known as pianist/vocalist Gary Lawrence, featured for over a decade with the world-reknowned Epstein Brothers Orchestra. The entire history of Klezmer music comes alive as Gary plays Yiddish-American swing and ragtime, traditional European bulgars and freilachs, along with Israeli and Chassidic rock of today and Ladino songs of the Sephardim, accompanied by “The Virtual Klezmorim.” His joyous musical exploration of our wonderful musical heritage is thoroughly entertaining, as well as educational. Gary was featured in the 1995 documentary film about The Epstein Brothers, “A Tickle in the Heart.” Now, Gary uses computer technology (MIDI) to re-create the wonderful sounds of The Epstein Brothers Orchestra. He plays all the parts and the result is the sound of a five-piece klezmer ensemble with the minimal expense of one musician! Gershon, Der Yiddishe Ragtime Man is perfect for fund-raising events, concerts and festivals, “simchas” (weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, etc.) and all functions where only the best Jewish music is called for! |
