I'd like to chime in and note that not only is this incredible
klez, but the remastering and liner notes on this are superb.
Even in January it's not to early to call this one of the best
klez albums of the year. What an amazing musician! What a sound!

=This= is what reissues should be--sound so good and current that
what you really notice is how good the music is and find yourself
dancing.

Look for a review on my klez pages soon
