Sam Sadigursky (clarinet) and Nathan Koci (accordion)

Duo Sam Sadigursky (clarinet) and Nathan Koci (accordion) have announced the April 11th, 2025 release of their new recording “The Solomon Diaries: Volumes IV & V”.

The album combines “Jewish spiritual and Klezmer music with post-minialism classical, jazz, and tinges of American folk. Clarinetist Sam Sadigursky and accordionist/multi-instrumentalist Nathan Koci release the next two volumes of The Solomon Diaries (Adhyaropa Records), a quintet of evocative albums reflecting on the Borscht Belt region—the primary Jewish resort community that helped shape 20th-century American culture—and also exploring contemporary immigrant and Jewish experiences. Both a compelling musical remembrance of a bygone era and a look to the future, The Solomon Diaries: Vol. IV & V combines the Sadigursky-Koci Duo with notable multi-genre guest artists: pianist Timo Andres (Tony Award nominee for Illinoise), mandolinist Joe Brent (founder of Adhyraropa Records), kaval/alto saxophonist Matt Darriau (The Klezmatics), pianist Danny Fox (Nefesh Mountain), and violinist Meg Okura (Pan Asian Chamber Jazz Ensemble).”

All 21 original songs on this album are written by both Sadigursky and Koci. Many of the songs are dedicated to prominent figures in their respective musical and personal lives,

An Album Release Concert will be held at Barbés in Brooklyn, New York City, USA on April 12th, 2025 at 3:PM.
