I therefore decided to form the Freudenthal Yiddish Big Band in the fall of 1999. The goal of this group has been for me to interpret, in my own musical language, my Jewish roots. Drawing heavily on my other musical loves (modern Big band jazz, the music of Charles Mingus and a fair share of classical concepts) I try to create something old in a modern fashion. The Group consists of 17 (!) musicians: 6 saxophones (doubling on other woodwinds when necessary), 3 trumpets, 2 trombones, 1 Tuba, Electric Bass, Electric Guitar, Drums and Vocals and myself as conductor/presenter. The repertoire consists of mainly new compositions by me but also my rearrangements of old Yiddish classics of the 30's and 40's. Alexander Freudenthal
