is this a bad cd! In all fairness, fans of experimental jazz would probably like this. I'm not one, and I didn't. If you are looking for regular klezmer, or even coherent tunes, this isn't the cd for you.

This review is from: Klezmania: Klezmer for the New Millennium (Audio CD)

Three or four of the songs are good. A few of them are more improvisational jazz, which to me sounds like people noodling around with instruments between actual songs. There's some sort of African-American harmony thing, and the last song sounds like the Ventures trying to play Wipe Out in klezmer style. Not worth buying if you're looking for actual klezmer music, and the title and description are misleading at best.

This cd is a fine collection of jewish/avant garde/world and fun klezmer music. Really intelligent mix.
