Abe Pollack

For over a decade Abe Pollack has been a mainstay on the New York City traditional jazz and roots music scenes, performing with the city’s top bands at venues such as Lincoln Center and The Blue Note. He has performed at numerous international music festivals, most recently at Bahidora (Mexico City), Charm City Django Jazz Fest (Baltimore) and The Heights of The Era (Davenport). This summer he will be a featured artist at Django in June (Northampton). His music has been heard on The Super Bowl and on Apple TV.

Abe’s newest album, Unprecedented Time, is a collection of mostly original swing-era music. As he describes it: “a few years ago, I kept wondering, is there room for originality in traditional jazz, klezmer, and swing? Can vintage styles, which were once novel, sound fresh again? I began writing and recording original music, obsessing over this idea. And today I believe the answer is yes.” The album is now available on all streaming platforms and available for purchase at Bandcamp.
