Abe Schwartz
The Klezmer King

Composer, fiddler, and bandleader Abe Schwartz (1881-1963) defined the modern American klezmer ensemble. Working in the arena of mid-1920s recording, the young immigrant tuned the still primitive sound of Jewish music to a more sophisticated pitch. If outstanding soloists like Naftule Brandwein and Dave Tarras shared the spotlight of the klezmer revival, it was because Abe Schwartz was the man who gave them their start.
