"A very interesting, unusual and wide-ranging klezmer band with all sorts of 
different looks... different dimensions."
- Rob Weisberg, "TransPacific Sound Paradise," WFMU 91.1fm

"The group spans a range of ages and genders, and includes a repertoire that 
squeezes 1,000 years of Jewish history in song -- from Asia Minor, the 
synagogue, Swing Era dance halls and '30s Jewish film music.... With the 
incredible variety of songs and styles, and the infectious joy that infuses 
their performances, you won't need to go to Vegas this season for a show." 
- Mark Keresman, THE RESIDENT
