Mordecai Specktor, editor and publisher of the St. Louis Park-based American Jewish World newspaper, says the world's premier klezmer clarinetist is coming to Minneapolis. Mordecai knows this not only because he's a fan of David Krakauer, he also interviewed him. Krakauer's made waves with his famed klezmer group Ancestral Groove, and through his hip hop collaboration with the emcee Socalled. He'll be playing with the Minneapolis classical ensemble The Bakken Trio, at the MacPhail Center, Sunday, Oct. 13, at 4 p.m.
