>From Moment Magazine on our CD, YIDDISH FOR TRAVELERS:
<<This versatile sextet from the Big Apple is comfortable with styles ranging 
from Middle Eastern-drenched dance music to Yiddish theater music to the 
classic klezmer of Dave Tarras and Naftule Brandwein--but its lounge-jazz 
version of the Yiddish classic "Rozhinkes Mit Mandlen" (Raisins and Almonds) 
takes the cake.  Extra points for the female drummer.>>
