Ari: I've never seen them. I assume you have and your description below
applies to their concerts?

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.)
