Bop Kabbalah at The Little Shul

Bop Kabbalah

Ty Citerman’s band, Bop Kabbalah, released their debut CD at The Little Shul in South Philadelphia, PA.

Guitarist and bandleader Ty Citterman says of the group:

“The quartet is my newest project, and it’s my take on Jewish themed composition meets improvisation. The band plays far-reaching, kinetic, lyri­cal music that takes some of the language of klezmer,modal nigu­nim, jazz, rock and 21st cen­tury con­cert music…and then twists and recon­tex­tu­al­izes it. It’s not really what you’d hear in most synagogues or at most weddings, but of course, those aren’t the only places to hear Jew­ish music!

The group does how­ever draw on my Jew­ish life and my years of expe­ri­ence play­ing sec­u­lar and reli­gious music.”

Bop Kabbalah is:

Ty Citerman, guitar

Adam D Gold, drums

Douglas Yates filling in for Ken Thom­son, bass clarinet

Ben Holmes, trum­pet
