May 2008 saw ABRAHAM INC. bring down the house at the legendary Apollo Theater with the JazzTimes reporting, ”This endlessly surprising yet highly successful hybrid of klezmer, funk and hip-hop had the enthusiastic crowd-young and old, Jews and gentiles, whites and blacks-dancing ecstatically in the aisles like it was a Jewish wedding”. With ABRAHAM INC. klezmer clarinet virtuoso DAVID KRAKAUER collaborates with one of the great masters of funk, trombonist FRED WESLEY (known for his work with James Brown, Bootsy Collins and Parliament Funkadelic), and beat architect SOCALLED. Add a three-piece horn section led by Wesley, rising hip-hop star C-RAYZ WALZ and members of Krakauer’s Klezmer Madness! band and the result is an allout klezmer-funk dance party! A sold out concert at Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall in December 2006 marked the first step in this collaborative venture which was also a hit at Transmusicale de Rennes – one of the largest rock festivals in Europe, where it met with a resounding response from the crowds and a rave review in Le Monde. Watch out for a debut studio recording and a live DVD of the Apollo concert slated for later this year.
