New Shabbos Waltz, November 6, 2006
This review is from: New Shabbos Waltz (Audio CD)
New Shabbos Waltz is a fitting follow-up record to the acclaimed Songs of Our Fathers.
Again, the combined talents of David Grisman and Andy Stanton transport the listener to the spiritual relms with their hauntingly beautiful Chasidic and classical Jewish music. And you don't have to be Jewish to take the trip!

Soul and Inspiration, February 26, 2008
This review is from: New Shabbos Waltz (Audio CD)
For a few years now I have enjoyed Klezmer music but have experienced it as essentially a secular Jewish art form. Even lipservice to religious songs have sounded subservient the demands of the Klezmer style. To describe this album simply as religiously inspired klezmer would be a misrepresentation. Yes I can hear influence of rock, bluegrass and classical music from these highly accomplished musicians. But most of all I hear the soul of the Chassidisher niggun, the broken heart of someone who yearns for the closeness of their G-d, and this is where this music in my estimation is coming from.
