I bought this CD sight unseen, only by looking at the byline. And I can already tell it's one of the best CD's I ever purchased. I've never had any Klezmer music, having only seen a Klezmer band on New's Year's Eve (in Santa Cruz). OY VEY! You don't need to be Jewish to appreciate this stuff! C'mon people! Get out and BUY IT! You won't regret this purchase. (N0, I don't know the band personally). If you enjoy Miles Davis, chances are, you'd like this too.

I love the klezmer style of syncopation in minor keys -- it seems to say, "Life is tough all over, but what the hell, let's dance." Tsirkus takes the art form to a whole new level. I not only hear and feel the music -- I also see it. I wish I were a choreographer so I could design a dance for the title piece: full of tension and longing, yet brazenly confident -- the dark, beckoning side of the circus life. The clarinet and saxophone solos are fantastic, and David Wall's voice is exquisite.
