Klezmatics - Possessed

Klezmatics mix jazz, folk, rock and Jewish music into a unique and powerful new sound. This album is one of the more challeging of their many works, leaping from genre to genre with seeming abandon. A core element of the record is the songwriting of playwright Tony Kushner, a self-described `half-baked, half-former, re-formed, dummermann kind of Jew.`

Klezmatics - Rise up

On Rise Up!, The Klezmatics once again expand the concept of klezmer music by fusing the radical and the traditional via edgy jazz musicianship, interesting arrangements of traditional Jewish folk songs and Eastern European rhythms, and myriad other imaginative influences.

The melodies are both beautiful and subtle, and the voice of Marta Sebestyen on two tracks is unforgettable. The accompanying notes are a great plus.
