Seth Kibel's "Recording Release Celebration"
Seth Kibel celebrates the release of *Clarinet, Without a Net*, an album drawing on jazz, Americana, blues, klezmer, American roots music, Jewish musical traditions, and classical repertoire. The performance brings together Kibel’s clarinet with an unusual instrumental palette, including trombone, cello, dobro, acoustic guitar, mandolin, tuba, and tablas.
The album features six original compositions and four covers, including the Rolling Stones’ “Wild Horses,” Carole King’s “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” “Key to the Highway,” and “The End of the World.” The recordings were made live in the studio with two different bands and reflect Kibel’s varied musical career.
