Re: Josh + Cookie + Stu = Veretski Pass !!!


Totally agree.  What little bits I got to hear of the new CD was the most exciting listening I've done all year - passionate, energetic, joyful playing, historically informed and virtuosic.  Perfection without sterility.  This trio ROCKS!  Can't wait until the CD comes out.

And you're right about Cookie, of course - her playing stands for everything we fiddlers aspire.

Hello all, I spent a few hours with Josh and Stu last week, we played a few notes and had a listen to the Veretski Pass CeeDee. Its very cool. Very rhythmic. These folks can play. Cookie pulls a great big waterfall of sound out of her fiddle. Josh's Schrammel Accordion sounds so string like that the unison with the fiddle sounds like a small string section. The tsimble playing is great. Stu's work on this CD  is amazing, so focused, so rhythmic, he's an empath of the highest order who seems to know what you will do before you do. This CD is one of the very best things I have heard in the style.  A trio that sounds like a quintet. Sounds like more than the sum of its parts. Did I mention that Cookie sounds mahoovalous ? Standing tall in those custom made boots. Taking charge. Does anyone play with her drive, commitment and soul ? No one comes to mind. Al W.

I see there's now a web site for Veretski Pass, a new "supergroup" klezmer trio with Josh Horowitz, Cookie Segelstein and Stu Brotman. The link is:

www.veretskipass.com

Their new cd is coming out in a few months.  An exciting development indeed!
