Violinist Ben Sutin and his septet Klazz-Ma-Tazz will bring their unique blend of jazz and klezmer music to New York's acclaimed music/culinary venue, The City Winery, on November 29, 2015 (11:00 a.m. Brunch). This Thanksgiving event is part of the Winery's Klezmer Brunch series, and follows the release of Klazz-Ma-Tazz's debut album, Tangibility, on OneTrickDog* Records. The album, which features some of Sutin's original work, has been praised for its dynamic composition, its improvisation, multi-cultural spirit and sense of humor. Tracks from Tangibility are currently being played in rotation on FM stations across the U.S. While rooted in jazz idioms, the music reflects influences from around the world, particularly from the diverse ethnic backgrounds of the group's members.

Among these are: Klezmer and Balkan folk music, Indian classical music, Native American tribal dance and English folk music. Fred Stal (RG Magazine), described the sold-out CD release sets at The

Cornelia Street Cafe: "Going in I knew it would be a great experience, but the performance far exceeded my expectations. This band is honest in their approach to what they do, paying an eclectic homage to their roots, which encompass a broad variety of elements and styles of music. Wild, yet reserved, the music of Klazz-Ma-Tazz will surprise you, excite you, and calm you, all in one sitting."

City Winery is located at 155 Varrick Street between Spring Street and Vandam Street. Tickets can be purchased in advance at www.citywinery.com. Admission is $10.00 for live music. Children 13 and under are free for music. Doors open at 10:00 am. Music to start at 11: 00 am and play to 2:00 pm with an intermission.

Klazz-Ma-Tazz was founded by violinist and composer Benjamin Sutin, in 2014. In addition to Sutin on violin, band members include: saxophonist and clarinetist Elijah Shiffer, pianist Ben Rosenblum, guitarist Grant Goldstein, bassist Mathew Muntz, drummer Matt Scarano, tabla player, Ani Challa, and current touring drummer Tim Rachbach.
