by
Original Cast Recording
Composer Stephen Flaherty, lyricist Lynn Ahrens, and librettist Terrence McNally's stage musical adaptation of E.L. Doctorow's novel Ragtime took a long time to get to Broadway, with full-scale productions in Toronto and Los Angeles dating back more than a year before the New York opening, and they used that time well. One need only compare the ...

The Klezmatics
A companion piece to 2006's sublime Wonder Wheel, Happy Joyous Hanukkah, like that album, dips into Woody Guthrie's catalog of recently discovered, previously unrecorded Jewish lyrics, to which the Klezmatics have written new music. Originally released in 2004, Happy Joyous Hanukkah, expanded with four additional songs in this re-release, largely ...

The Klezmatics
Wonder Wheel isn't the first album created from completed but never recorded lyrics left behind by the late folk icon Woody Guthrie. In 1998 the British folk-punk singer Billy Bragg and American roots rockers Wilco jointly recorded Mermaid Avenue, which drew from the same pool of material. It was successful enough that a second volume was released ...

Rhythm & Jews
(1990)
more music like this
by
The Klezmatics
One of the great things about klezmer is the fact that while it is a product of Jewish musical traditions, it has also reflected the Jewish-American experience. When American Jews in Brooklyn and Queens were digging Artie Shaw's clarinet in the 1940s and '50s, you'd hear it in klezmer recordings. The Klezmatics' Rhythm & Jews is a lively, ...

by
The Klezmatics
Picture the Reverend Horton Heat with a yarmulke, if you like. Or "Fiddler on the Roof" with Coltraneian complexity. Just don't expect somber religious music. The Klezmatics' brand of Jewish klezmer is as spirited as it is spiritual. The fast numbers, which dominate their third album, are frenzied celebratory drinking songs -- a true revival of ...

The Klezmer Conservatory Band
The Klezmer Conservatory Band were one of the earliest groups in the klezmer revival movement, and this album is one of the earliest from them. The album features slightly unconventional neo-klezmer in some ways, occasionally jaunting into New Orleans jazz territory. On the purely musical end, one can find here some exceptional vocals from Judy ...

New Orleans Klezmer All Stars
What 3 Mustaphas 3 did for what might be called Eastern European trad-rock, the New Orleans Klezmer Allstars do for klezmer. With tongue firmly in cheek (but hand soundly on heart), the Allstars create a unique, funky brand of traditional Yiddish music. "A Viennese Freilach" is lively yet languid, but they pull out all the stops on "The Wedding ...

It's holiday time! And what does that mean musically? Of course, klezmer! Now you may be saying, "But isn't this traditionally the time for Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker?" Well, yes! But now there is a new holiday tradition for the rest of us (and, in fact, for all of us). For nearly a decade, the Boston-based klezmer consortium Shirim (which plays in ...

Andy Statman is known both for his clarinet and mandolin playing, and he is equally adept at both. Sometimes his two worlds collide, but East Flatbush Blues finds him sticking to his strings, while the simultaneously recorded Awakening from Above is meant to showcase Statman's clarinet work.

Klezmer music has been one of the more recent ethnic genres to be subjected to the predations of DJs and electronica funkmeisters, and the results have sometimes been thrilling. But the French Gypsy/Jewish ensemble les Yeux Noirs take the idea of klezmer fusion in a whole different direction, mixing equal parts traditional Romany melodies, Yiddish ...

Frank London's Klezmer Brass Allstars
There are some genres of music that can't help but brighten one's day or put a grin on one's face. And Frank London has taken the traditional klezmer style and inserted a whole bundle of oomph and verve into it once again. Rarely would music result in a joyous creation of a feverish Hasidic mosh pit, but the exuberance found on the leadoff track, ...

When Israeli singer Chava Alberstein produced a documentary film on 20th-century Yiddish poets in 1995 (Too Early to Be Quiet, Too Late to Sing), the writers' stories provoked Alberstein to set some of their poems to music. The results are gathered on The Well, with vocals by Alberstein and music performed by the Klezmatics. The compositions ...

The Klezmatics are arguably the most genre-bending performers on the klezmer scene today (and perhaps of any day). Here, they combine with an up-and-coming singer from the South. That singer just happens to be of an ancient order of Judaism and is African-American, and he attempts to fuse gospel soul with traditional Jewish works. Of course, they ...

Essentially nothing is known about Hochman, who recorded for maybe a dozen companies between 1918 and 1924, with groups he variously called his Yiddish, Jewish, and Ruyssian Balalaika Orchestra.
