Dave Tarras is the father of the Jewish-American tradition in Klezmer
music. He was a composer, a clarinetist, a teacher and the leader of the
orchestra, all in one.
Dave Tarras was born in the Ukraine, in the village of Ternovka not far
from the city of Teplic in 1897. Thanks to the lessons he received from his
father, a trombone player, the boy was involved in music from his early
childhood. At the age of 13 he performed quite successfully. In 1915, Tarras
became famous all over Europe and received the name of the "King of Jewish
Music".
After immigrating to THE USA, he performed in all European capitals and
established his own school of clarinet playing. He played salon pieces, jazz
(swing) and, of cause, Jewish folk music. For a period of many years the
musician collaborated with the most famous American and West European Jewish
orchestras. Ultra orthodox Khasids didn't want to accept his musical
experiments for a long time. But nevertheless he continued to play.
Dave Tarras died at night in 1989 at the age of 87.
