And the Angels Swing: From Berlin to Bacharach

And the Angels Swing: From Berlin to Bacharach features three of Southern California's most celebrated vocalists, Mara Kaye, Elizabeth Schwartz, and Whitney Shay, all of whom tour internationally, in a program celebrating the most influential Jewish composers of jazz and swing in American history. Expect sultry ballads, rousing anthems, and spectacular voices lifted in harmony.
The band: Irving Flores (keyboards), Joe McNalley (contrabass), Duncan Moore (percussion), and Tripp Sprague (saxes and flute).
Also Featuring: Yale Strom and Hot Pstromi
Violinist and ethnographer Yale Strom, joined by Fred Benedetti (guitar), Tripp Sprague (tenor saxophone), Luke Little (contrabass), and Elizabeth Schwartz (vocals), will present a concert of klezmer music including original compositions by Strom as well as melodies he documented during extensive ethnographic fieldwork in Eastern Europe. Several selections originate from Roma musicians who historically performed alongside Jewish instrumentalists before and after World War II, reflecting the region's shared musical exchanges.
Strom’s ensemble, Hot Pstromi, has maintained an active performance history for over four decades. The group’s repertoire encompasses transcribed field recordings, traditional klezmer repertoire, classic Yiddish song, and new compositions.
