About the Artist
Ever-evolving and increasingly difficult to pin down, Howard Fishman has moved through early jazz, folk, blues, free jazz, classical, rock, pop, funk, country and, most recently, New Orleans brass band and gospel music, while releasing six critically acclaimed CDs. He maintains a full-time touring schedule and has garnered a devoted following worldwide.

Fishman began his musical career on the streets of New Orleans and in the subways of New York before making his debut at The Algonquin Oak Room in NYC in 1999. He has since headlined in major venues both in the States and abroad, including Lincoln Center, The Steppenwolf Theater, The Blue Note, NJPAC, The Pasadena Playhouse, Joe's Pub, The Bottom Line, and Le Petit Journal in Paris. He has been a frequent NPR guest, making feature-length appearances on FRESH AIR with Terry Gross, WORLD CAFE with David Dye, THE LEONARD LOPATE SHOW and SOUNDCHECK with John Schaefer, among others.

The Los Angeles Times has written of him " At a time when performers in virtually every genre are trying to stretch their stylistic boundaries, Fishman refuses to acknowledge that boundaries exist."

Product Description
Cult recordings meet cult artist on the new CD/DVD HOWARD FISHMAN PERFORMS BOB DYLAN & THE BAND'S "BASEMENT TAPES" LIVE AT JOE'S PUB, from Monkey Farm Records.

Culled from three sold-out evenings at Joe's Pub at The Public Theater in New York City in May 2006, the new "BASEMENT TAPES" CD features classics like "Tears of Rage" and "This Wheel's On Fire" alongside less well-known numbers. True to the subversive nature of the original material, the new CD also features the first-ever commercial release of "I'm Not There (1956)," considered by many to be Dylan's unfinished masterpiece. A bonus DVD is included, featuring live footage from the Joe's Pub performances.
