The book  "Klezmer! From Old World to Our World"

Author and veteran klezmer Sapoznik in his humorous and sometimes irreverent way, leads a tour from Europe to the Yiddish Theater on Second Avenue in New York, to vaudeville, and American klezmer in the early years of this century to its nascence and renaissance.  With many stories about what it was like to work with legends like Dave Tarras and Naftule Brandwein? tales from the musical careers of fine musicians like Sammy Musiker, Paul Pincus, Joe Helfenbein, the Epstein Brothers ? a chronicle of the second generation's discovery of klezmer? to current developments and trends of the genre? this is the first book-form history of this subject.  It's a fun read, it has 65 photos, and you will close the book with a much better understanding of where klezmer music came from and how it evolved.
