>? Statman combines the haunting beauty and spiritual depth of the roots of 
>Klezmer music with the freewheeling improvisational sensibility of jazz and 
>bluegrass. Statman has discovered a kinship between old Chasidic dance tunes 
>and melodies and the searching, deeply spiritual jazz of John Coltrane, 
>Albert Ayler, and those who have followed. 
>    In addition to Klezmer, Statman also inhabits a special niche in the 
>bluegrass universe, having first gained acclaim as a hot young mandolin 
>player in the early 1970s newgrass collective Country Cooking; his ability to 
>toss off licks that could move between traditional bluegrass and atonal jazz 
>in the space of one bar demanded that listeners take notice. Statman brings 
>this eclectic intelligence and technical mastery to the Klezmer medium with 
>the accompaniment of his jazz all-star quartet including Bruce Barth on 
>piano, Scott Lee on acoustic bass, and Bob Weiner on percussion, capturing 
>both the spiritual lyricism and the dazzling, catchy playfulness of Klezmer.
