For this concert, Don Byron gathers a ten-member all-star band, for a revival of his groundbreaking 1993 recording, Don Byron Plays the Music of Mickey Katz. The performance is a faithful tribute to the campy wit and musical innovation of klezmer-style music by Mickey Katz, a touring and recording star of the 1950s, who entertained audiences with his virtuoso clarinet and wild pastiche of ethnic Jewish comedy.

Co-presented by the Chicago Humanities Festival and Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago.
