New Statman Release!

This article talks about Andy Statman's latest release entitled
Avodas Halevi: Archival Recordings From the 1990s.
The CD captures Statman at a fascinating transitional period in his career, when he was moving from traditional renditions of Jewish music a practice that he almost single-handedly revived in the 1980 to a style of fusing Hasidic chants with the modern rapture of late John Coltrane or Albert Ayler.
