Big Brooklyn

Bridging jazz, klezmer, rock, and groove, Big Brooklyn carries a progressive yet inviting presence, exploring beautiful melodies while defining new boundaries. Big Brooklyn released an exciting new album, “Everyone Everywhere,” in 2022 and is currently a semi-finalist in the 2022 UK Songwriting Competition for compositions on the album. Also a finalist in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, this five-piece instrumental group captivates audiences with a unique depth of passion in expressive melodies and harmonies, touching on the inseparable exultation and pathos of the klezmer sound, all interwoven over a fabric of jazz and groove that pulls all stops. Band members include: Melody Dornfeld – Clarinet & Bass Clarinet, Luke Soasey – Tenor & Soprano Saxophones, Aaron Summerfield – Guitar, Jo Asker – Bass, and Willie Dornfeld – Drums.

“With a sound that laughs and sobs at the same time, Dornfeld on clarinet is a master of nuance. Her reed is her tongue, joy is her language and this CD as a collaboration of these outstanding musicians is a supernova.”–Debbie Burke, Jazz Author/Journalist, Review of Big Brooklyn album, Purpose
