The Klezmatics are the best klezmer band working today. While amazingly fresh and contemporary in their musical borrowings and instrumental sound (acid jazz, surf guitar, ska rhythms), their music is undisputably pure klezmer. The melodies are infectious and memorable, and there's plenty of musical risk-taking to make your ears prick up again and again (Frank London's use of a ragged octagenarian chorus is especially novel). Pick up some Klezmatics discs, and, if you like them, consider giving Hasidic New Wave a shot.

This is my favorite album from my favorite klezmer band. Better than anyone else, they combine new forms with old. Moxy Fruvous fans get a treat on "Man With a Hat," a fabulous and exciting number. This is a wonderful album. Enjoy!

This CD appealed to everyone in my family, pre-teens, teens, and adults - quite a feat for our varied tastes. There are lively, toe-tapping songs, and thoughtful instrumentals. All combine to create a terrific album and one of those rare cd's that we liked almost every song.

The Klezmatics are the gold standard in current klezmer revival. Lorin Sklomberg is a musical genius. Alicia Svigals stands on the shoulders of giants of the klezmer fiddle, and takes it to the next level. Bravi to the whole group!

This albumn is the best one I have listened to. Some songs on there i cannot, get out of my head. Every real fan of klezma should buy this albumn. OY!

The Klezmatics are a superior performing group for Klezmer music. This is one of their best.
