about

This is the physical CD of Ty Citerman's acclaimed debut release for his Bop Kabbalah project.

“...one of the year’s most arresting recordings...wailing with enough majesty to bring down the walls of Jericho.”
-JazzTimes

“[Four Stars] At its core, the record serves as Citerman’s vision of Jewish-themed music filtered through an improvisational lens. Traditional klezmer and nigunim strains mix-and-match with rock, swing and modalism, creating snazzy hybrids...that snoop, spy and survey with one eye toward the serious and the other toward make-believe.”
-Downbeat

"...Bop Kabbalah effortlessly thumps its way through whimsical compositions with deep and expressive lyricism."
-The New York City Jazz Record

“[Four Stars] Imagine if the clouds made a sound other than thunder when they clashed...When this band is not sounding like the actual storm, it carries all the foreboding of the build-up to one.”
-The Sydney Morning Herald

“...’What is Jewish music? What is its future?...’ The most recent musical mind to address these questions and puzzles is the inventive guitarist and composer Ty Citerman...On Bop Kabbalah, Citerman...has surrounded himself with able partners to execute his vision [with] palpable originality.”
-Search and Restore

“...Ty Citerman delves deep into his Jewish roots in this brilliant new project for the Tzadik Jewish series. Drawing inspiration from sources as varied as the Beat Generation, medieval Eastern European and Asian music modes and the rich depths of Kabbalistic mysticism, Ty has fashioned an intense and colorful program of modernist music that blends klezmer, nigunim, jazz, rock, classical and more. [His] most ambitious and powerful project to date is also his most personal and heartfelt.”
-John Zorn
