Jordan Hirsch’s interest in Klezmer and Yiddish song goes back to his high school years in the 1970’s when he discovered Klezmer and Jazz trumpet icon Ziggy Elman on his parents Benny Goodman records, and the Klezmer clarinet sounds still frequently heard on NYC wedding bandstands. One of the last of “the old guys”, Jordan played with some of the greatest American Klezmer musicians, including Ray Musiker, Howie Lees, Paul Pincus, and Danny Rubinstein on countless Chasidic and Jewish music gigs starting in 1981. Jordan has taught And performed at Klezkanada and Yiddish New York, and was the lead trumpet for the recent critically acclaimed production of Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish.
