Yuzo Nieto
The substance of “yuzo nieto and the hand that rocks the dreidel” is eclectic. Its sound ranges from avant garde to old-timey jazz and bossa nova with hues of electronica splashed about. Yuzo Nieto’s formal training as an opera singer and jazz saxophonist underscore the playful elements of poetic parody present in his lyricism. Adding to this mix of the profound and puckish, the irrepressible Avi Sherbill transforms percussion into performance art, releasing tantric tantrums on his home-made instrument, a tire-bass drum adorned with various found objects including cardboard boxes, lampshades, and soda cans. Come be a part of this musical, and visual experience and get rocked by yuzo nieto and the hand that rocks the dreidel.
