About the Album

“Gentle Touch" is a track from acclaimed klezmer clarinetist Glenn Dickson's first solo album "Wider Than the Sky," out July 8, 2022 via Naftule's Dream Recordings. A lush and otherworldly album of solo clarinet with electronics, the music breaks new ground for Dickson, who is best known for his edgy klezmer-tinged improvisations and compositions as well as his traditional klezmer playing in his bands Naftule's Dream and Shirim and their recordings on John Zorn’s Tzadik label. Dickson started creating solo clarinet with electronics in the early 2000's, performing sporadically through the years when his schedule allowed, then rebooting his focus on the project in 2019. The process grew more fruitful and essential during the pandemic when he sustained his musical life by live streaming weekly “Dreams & Meditations” performances from his home for the better part of a year, culminating in the recording of this album.
