A native of the underground Seattle scene who moved to New York in 1993, Aaron Alexander has performed with many of the greatest groups in the new Jewish Renaissance, from the Klezmatics to Hasidic New Wave, Klezmer Madness, Klezmerfest, Babkas, Klez-Jazz, Frank London’s Klezmer Brass All-Stars, and many more. Midrash Mish Mosh, his first CD for Tzadik, presents nine powerful compositions exploring the intersections of klezmer with thrash punk, free jazz and world music rhythms. Exhilarating, lyrical and intense.
