Itzhak Perlman with The Klezmatics : Bulgars/ The Kiss [ purchase ] In the comments earlier this week, Owyn asked about the difference between a fiddle and a violin. His answer was a punch line, and it made me smile. But, if I may, I would like to answer the question seriously. The answer is how the instrument is played. No one is a better example of this than Itzhak Perlman. Perlman is a world-renowned classical violinist, but he explored his Jewish roots a while back, and he learned about Klezmer. [...]
It's the first night of Hanukkah, and though the candles have long since burned down, as in past years, my holiday playlist didn't even last as long as the light it was designed to accompany. This year was closer than ever, though, giving me hope that one day soon we'll have more than a single set to offer over these eight nights. In the meantime, here's a rehashed set: our 2008 post rewritten, some older tunes from years past, and a pair of new delights from the mailbox. May [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , New Music Natalie Merchant is feeling rather poetic these days -- literally. The former 10,000 Maniacs frontwoman is set to release 'Leave Your Sleep' on April 13, a two-disc set that takes lyrical content from poets both famous and obscure. Six years in the making, the project features such recognizable names as E.E. Cummings, Ogden Nash, Robert Louis Stevenson and Robert Graves, but that wasn't the only massive undertaking Merchant embarked on. For this project, Merchant [...]
Filed under: Around the World If you ran into Lorin Sklamberg in January 2009 and he seemed a little, well, distracted, he begs your forgiveness. See, for a stretch of two and half weeks, the Klezmatics singer and co-founder was recording two new side-project albums in the same studio, each taking off on a different tangent from his Yiddish music core. On one day he'd be working with Irish-born singer Susan McKeon on what would become the Irish-Yiddish hybrid 'Saints & Tzadiks'; the next he'd find himself with fellow [...]
from Winterlights: A Season in Poems and Quilts by Anna Grossnickle Hines While I generally attribute my love of folk music to my father's good taste and influence, it was my mother who introduced me to both kidfolk and, later in life, filled the house on holidays with what can only be called the Jewish equivalent of Christian Music - that branch of music which, in trying to balance between the spiritual source and the popular ear, has a high tendency toward over-earnestness. So when [...]
I struggled this year. Compiling a single disc of holiday tunes I liked. At first I tried to make a mix that started out with a bang and then winds down to a mellow ending. But I had a difficult time cutting down the number of songs. So I decided to make a 2 disc mix . I wanted to include some non-Christmas music, hence the inclusion of some Chanukah songs , some anti-Christmas songs, some humorous songs and some that focus on the [...]

The Klezmatics are the self-proclaimed "world-reknowned superstars of the klezmer world" which I think I can affirm, though I'm not exactly an expert on the ins and outs of the klezmer world. They've been around for a long time, but their most interesting work is a record released last year called Wonder Wheel . Along the lines of the Billy Bragg/Wilco Mermaid Avenue project, they take lyrics from Woody Guthrie and meld them together with their up-tempo, almost carnivalesque sound to create something truly astonishing. It sounds intensely Middle Eastern, perhaps Eastern European, but [...]

25 Songs: The Klezmatics
In honor of the start of Hanukkah, we have a lively holiday track from New York's klezmer superstars, The Klezmatics . In 2006, the band won a Grammy for its album Wonder Wheel , which brought the lyrics of Woody Guthrie to life. Soon after, the band released another album of Guthrie lyrics - Happy Joyous Hanukkah - based on a series of his songs about Hanukkah, Jewish history and spiritual life inspired by his mother-in-law, Yiddish poet Aliza Greenblatt .

Hanukkah’s Over - Late Entries
I'm sorta mad that I forgot to get these songs up earlier. Hanukkah ended a couple days ago, but it's a holiday season , right? It's worth a posting a couple songs because it's kind of hard to find Hanukkah songs in the first place, much less ones that don't somehow poke fun at the faith (I got my eye on you Sarah Silverman). So here's- Wait... the first one's music is sort of, slightly, possibly funny, but the subject matter's not funny- it's historical. It's the Klezmatics, with their take on Elton John's classic "Saturday Night's Alright." [...]
