Before rushing off to hear these guys, it may be worth asking
whether or not the idea of deracinated, lounge-klez fused with
similarly bland elevator jazz or classical muzak sounds potentially 
entertaining. (Clearly, millions of Kenny G fans think so, at 
least in part, and yeah, some of my best friends think these
folks are the way to do klezmer. I do strongly disagree.)
