Michael Winograd Plays TANZ!
26.06.2025 - 19:00 / Tempel Synagogue, ul. Miodowa 24Michael Winograd plays TANZ!
In 1956 the celebrated Jazz and Klezmer clarinetist Sam Musiker released the album TANZ! on Period Records. The album was filled with new compositions and inspired arrangements of Jewish dance music. Along with Sam, the record featured his father in-law, Dave Tarras, the King of Klezmer. Joined by a team of brilliant musicians, TANZ! was a groundbreaking album, interweaving contemporary and traditional sounds in a programmatic context not seen before. With the backing of a major label the only thing that stood in the way of great success for TANZ! was the absence of an audience. By 1956 Jewish audiences were more interested in popular American music, and unfortunately TANZ! saw little commercial success, and the music was never performed live in it’s day.
Now, nearly 70 years later, Brooklyn based clarinetist – Michael Winograd – will bring the sounds of TANZ! to life, performing the full album from beginning to end, for the first time in Poland! Like the original itself, Michael is joined by a stellar group of musicians who invite you on this journey back in time to hear the sounds of TANZ!
