For the sixth year in a row, I will be an artist-at-large and house bass guitarist at this remarkable "not only jazz" learning experience in New York's Catskill Mountains region, founded and led by guitarist/composer Joel Harrison.

Krakauer & Tagg's Good Vibes Explosion
Conceived and created by Grammy-nominated “ebullient clarinet wizard” (Time Out NY) David Krakauer and multi-instrumentalist/producer Kathleen Tagg, this project showcases a multi-generational/high-octane group of collaborators from very different backgrounds, hailing from the USA, Canada, Iran and South Africa. Together they embrace the diversity of today’s America through their unique take on a multitude of traditional roots musics, bringing their enormous musical and cultural diversity to the project and collaborating to create powerful original material. Old forms are celebrated both by bringing them into a 21st century sound-world and expanding the context to make room for new stories. France’s Le Monde says: “a breath of fresh air, an incentive to dance…In the face of the overwhelming negativity and alarming rise of hatred and intolerance in today's world, let's breathe and dance together…More than a suggestion, an injunction”.

David Krakauer @ Le Mémorial de Caen, France: Tribute to Varian Fry
...in collaboration with Jazz Sous Les Pommiers...
Considered one of the greatest clarinetists on the planet, David Krakauer is hailed internationally as a key innovator in modern klezmer music as well as a leading voice in classical and jazz music. As part of the exhibition "Varian Fry, the paths of exile", he will present a never-before-seen program presenting music of Sidney Bechet, Benny Goodman and 1940s African American alongside klezmer music of the Jews of Eastern Europe.
From August 1940 to September 1941, during World War II in Vichy France, American journalist Varian Fry ran a rescue network that helped 2,000 anti-Nazi and Jewish refugees, mostly artists and intellectuals, escape from persecution by Nazi Germany.
