An exploration of the music of celebrated Jewish songwriters, whose achievements would come to dominate that body of work known as the “Great American Songbook.”  Seth and the band will be swinging classic tunes from the likes of the Brothers Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, Harold Arlen, and more. Through music and insightful commentary from Seth, we'll explore the Jewish influence on these great American songwriters and how the lines began to blur between the music of the old country and the music of the New World.  Expect lots of toe-tapping jazz, swing, and just a wee bit o' klezmer for good measure!

Seth Kibel is one of the Mid-Atlantic's premier woodwind specialists, working with some of the best bands in Klezmer, Jazz, Swing, and more.  Wowing audiences on clarinet, flute, and saxophone, Seth has made a name for himself in the Washington/Baltimore region, and beyond.  He is the featured performer with The Kleztet, Bay Jazz Project, Music Pilgrim Trio, Daryl Davis Band, The Natty Beaux, and more.  Winner of 28 Washington Area Music Awards (Wammies), including "Best World Music Instrumentalist" (2003-11) and "Best Jazz Instrumentalist" (2005, 2007-8, 2011-14).  His most recent recording, "Clown With A Stick," was released in May 2023 on the Azalea City Recordings record label. He's won numerous prizes in the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest (MASC) including the Grand Prize in 2016 and a Gold Prize in 2022.  When he's not performing, Seth frequently lectures on a variety of topics in music history for numerous institutions, including the Osher Lifelong Learning programs at Johns Hopkins and Towson Universities.
