Klezmer Music

By Robert Fischer | Published: June 19, 2007

Check it out if you haven’t. I’ve become a big fan of Klezmerica* (who have free MP3s on their site), and they go from traditional klezmer music through “Gershwin the Klezmer” through a raucus rock-infused klezmer sound through a kind of modern jazz take on kelzmer music. They’re really good.

*Hey, I thought only Minnesota Calvinists called themselves the Frozen Chosen!

[Listening to: Jerusalem of Blue - Klezmerica - Jerusalem of Blue (04:43)]

    If you like Klezmer music, check out the Klezmatics. Love ‘em. And for an exotic touch, infamous New York experimental composer John Zorn has produced a great deal of “New Jewish Music” for other artists, including a lot of Klezmer and Klezmer hybrids. “At the Rebbe’s Table” by Tim Sparks is one of my current favorite albums.

    Funny that you should chime up. I was planning on posting that 7 songs meme onto my LJ when I got a moment.

    Probably tomorrow or Wednesday, though: today’s been a bad day.
