Ned Rothenberg’s intensely personal take on Radical Jewish Culture interprets the inner Diaspora as a place of learning and growth. Featuring his acclaimed trio Sync with guest string players Mark Feldman and Erik Friedlander (Masada String Trio, Bar Kokhba) the music is rich in rhythmic invention, instrumental color and lyricism. Drawing upon his extensive experience in world music, Ned explores the possibilities of 21st century Jewish culture through the nuances of scales, modes and feelings of alienation and belonging.
