ben goldberg trio – 1 may 2014, jazzatelier, ulrichsberg austria

on monday, i listened to most of the shows that i have recorded on may first.  there were a few, but not as many as i’d expected.  not a popular day musically, i guess, unlike say new years eve.  this was one of them, which i quite liked.

looking into ben goldberg online was a bit surprising, aside from the clarinet which i don’t really associate with the leaders of jazz groups (unlike drummers, for some reason).  his webpage bio says that “my musical life was a dichotomy: i played jazz on the saxophone and classical music on the clarinet…. [and] started playing and studying klezmer music, which has a virtuosic clarinet tradition.”  klezmer!  i find it fun, upbeat & infectious – but not something i’d associate with jazz.  which probably says more about how i pigeonhole things & how little i actually know about music.
