Review of Andy Statman's Journey

5 Stars if you're a fan of Klezmer clarinet or bluegrass mandolin. Jon Kalish has produced an expertly knitted, rich, tersely woven and well presented journey into the heart of the virtuoso musician and Jewish mystic Andy Statman.
This is excellent radio that hits all the right beats in terms of pacing and uses the form to create a three dimensional person from his early success to his inexplicable contemporary obscurity.
Highly recommended to anyone. Excellent programming for the weekends or Jewish holidays or pairing with programs on Klezmer.
