Bio
Bridging klezmer, jazz, rock, and groove, this five-piece Colorado-based instrumental group carries a progressive yet inviting presence while navigating original compositions, as well as adaptations of jazz and rock standards. Big Brooklyn captivates audiences with a unique depth of passion in expressive melodies and harmonies, touching on the inseparable exultation and pathos of the klezmer sound, all interwoven over a fabric of groove and jazz. Band members include: Melody Dornfeld – Clarinet, Luke Soasey – Saxophone, Aaron Summerfield – Guitar, Jo Asker - Bass, and Willie Dornfeld - Drums.
"Serious talent in an eclectic and unique package."

“With a sound that laughs and sobs at the same time, Dornfeld on clarinet is a master of nuance. Her reed is her tongue, joy is her language and this CD as a collaboration of these outstanding musicians is a supernova.”
–Debbie Burke, Jazz Author/Journalist
