Ben Goldberg Profile and Interview

From Pittsburgh City Paper:

A good teacher presents ideas or disciplines that stay with students for years. Ben Goldberg understands this. Laying claim to a diverse set of recordings and projects, the clarinetist has blended traditional klezmer music with avant-garde jazz, and folk and bluegrass with chamber music. But while he’s talking about his own music, it becomes clear that the impact of two instructors has helped to shape the perspective he brings to his work.
