From 1998 KlezKamp, a recording of a dance set led by the late Sid Beckerman z"l, one of the great klezmer clarinetists from the heydey of American Yiddish music. Sid embodied the principle of KlezKamp. He was one of the links from his generation of klezmorim to the new generations of players who came to learn at KlezKamp. Sid often played long sets of dance music with members of the KlezKamp staff at the evening dance parties.

Sid's father, Shloymke Beckerman, was one of the great klezmorim of his generation. Living Traditions will be issuing a rare recording of Shloymke Beckerman later this year.

This set features Sid (clarinet), along with Hankus Netsky (piano), Jim Guttmann (bass), David Licht (drums) and Henry Sapoznik (banjo).
