Jacob's Other Projects/Links
Trombonist and composer Jacob Garchik, born 1976 in San Francisco, has lived in New York since 1994. His 2005 debut album, Abstracts, was hailed by the New York Times as "a bouquet of appealingly compact excursions" and by All About Jazz NY as "wonderfully pithy".
One of New York City's busiest freelancers, Jacob has performed with Lee Konitz, Steve Swallow, and Joe Maneri. He is a regular member of about 15 ensembles, including the Lee Konitz New Nonet, the Ohad Talmor/Steve Swallow Sextet, the John Hollenbeck Large Ensemble, the Ben Gerstein Collective, 4inObjects, Slavic Soul Party, and the Four Bags. Jacob has also contributed arrangements and compositions to the Kronos Quartet and Slavic Soul Party.
Besides playing new music with many of his creative but unknown peers, Jacob has worked with contemporary composers Joe Maneri, Anthony Braxton, Anthony Coleman, Billy Martin, and James Tenney, choreographers Yoshiko Chuma and Anita Cheng, and the Theatre of a Two-headed Calf. He has also worked with an astonishing number of New York's "Downtown" Klezmer and Gypsy punk groups including Golem, Frank London's Klezmer Brass All Stars, Metropolitan Klezmer, Isle of Klezbos, Greg Wall's Simcha All-Stars, Aaron Alexander's Midrash Mish Mosh, Judith Berkson's East River Orchestra, What I Like About Jew, German Goldenshteyn, Michael Alpert, Slavic Soul Party, Eugene Hutz and Gogol Bordello.
He has recorded about two dozen cds for labels such as Pirhana, Omnitone, Tzadik, Fresh Sound New Talent, Yestereve, NCM East, and Palmetto. Jacob also plays accordion, bass trombone, tuba, and piano.
