Led by trumpeter Ben Holmes, the Lazarus Quartet brings its unique sound to the New York City Klezmer scene. Featuring Uri Sharlin (accordion), Dan Loomis (bass), and Jeff Davis (drums), the group's music excites, inspires, and romances the listener, while always drawing from the musicians' roots in the traditions of Jewish, Jazz, Eastern European and Middle Eastern music. Peter Margasak of Downbeat Magazine has written that "Holmes, whether employing a plush, ballad style or a hurtling, rhythmically elaborate fluidity, maintains impressive composure and a full-bodied tone."
