Steven Bernstein is a trumpeter/slide trumpeter, bandleader, arranger and composer who lives outside of musical convention. His CDs include "Diaspora Soul," "Diaspora Blues", "Diaspora Hollywood" and most recently, "Diaspora Suite," all on John Zorn's Tzadik label.
Tzadik's Radical Jewish Culture series incorporates elements of Jewish music traditions into new jazz, rock and experimental contexts, and the release of "Diaspora Soul" adds more styles to the list.
Bernstein throws some cha cha into his New Orleans R&B and Afro-Cuban-influenced arrangements of traditional cantorials, an Ashkenazi wedding song, a Hanukkah song and more, paying tribute to these music traditions.
