Influence[edit]
Founded by trumpeter and composer Bill Averbach and based out of Austin, Texas, The Austin Klezmorim have performed concerts and festivals throughout the Southwest as members of the Texas Commission on the Arts Touring Artist Roster. Their influence has played an important role in the development of Austin music's more eclectic music reputation as the first modern "Klezmer" band in Texas and the oldest Klezmer band in the Southwest.[2][citation needed] Their music is a fusion of the traditional Klezmer, Jazz, worldbeat, and indigenous Texas music. The group combines the older, traditional music with more contemporary styles in order to keep the music alive and growing.[citation needed]
