RE: ?Klezmer for dummies

[robres <robres...>]

Two other books of classic klezmer tunes are:

1.  Sy Kushner's "The Klezmer Music Fake Book", volumes 1 and 2.  Like The
Compleat Klezmer, each comes with a CD, except that each tune is presented
in its entirety.  Each volume is also presented in C or Bb versions.

2.  The Klezmer Band Folio, by Ken Richmond, also in C or Bb volumes.
The transcriptions tend to be more detailed - noting krekhts and slides,
where other volumes we are familiar with do not. (The recording that is
available is the Yale Klezmer Band, vs. the alte mevonim - the old
masters).


We can get these for you...
