An Incredible Album!,
By The Sun Door (NY/CO, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A New Hot One (Audio CD)
This is one of my favorite CDs of all time! A wonderful mix of Jazz, Rock and Klezmer styles. The wailing clarinet contrasting with a grounded beat and cool rifs makes this a must have. Krakauer is an incredible clarinetist with incredible ideas, one of the best clarinetists of today. If you like the Klezmatics or the Klezmer Conservatory Band, be sure to check this out. Krakauer has outdone himself! Wow!

A DISAPPOINTMENT,
By Jay Delancy (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A New Hot One (Audio CD)
This guy can play very high & very loud. All the time. I'm not impressed. Frenzies are nice & exciting, but every piece? Such an easy way out insults his audience. We hear you, and it ain't pretty! OK, this CD is not bad, just tedious. Showy. I like raw energy, but I'm not convinced by Krakaer's desperate tone. His ideas start out interesting, even funky, but compositionally, nothing develops. His technique, though accomplished, relies on 1 or 2 tricks (shticks) that become predictable, monotonous, and lack subtlety. If you want a true jazz clarinet virtuoso who will knock your socks off with authenticity, zest, warmth, wit, intelligence, and heart, with a band as alive as him, you're better off checking out the old Bechet recordings.
