I had the pleasure of seeing this live in Phily early in the year. It was 
very good. Don Byron playing was something to see. If memory holds me right 
they worked in 2 klezmer tunes. How Jewish the more memorable one is can be 
debated, I have also heard the tune being played by the Moscow Circus a 
couple of years ago. 
    The last time I was in Chicago I stopped by the Jazz Record Mart where I 
noticed that they had two different versions of the album on the Winter and 
Winter Label. One was the 1 CD studio version and the other was a 2 CD live 
version. I haven't heard the live version but I did notice that it didn't 
have a clarinet on it so I don't know if it is of as much interest to people. 
    As for the person who wanted to know about record stores that carry 
Klezmer music in Chicago, along with places like Tower, and Borders,  The 
Jazz Record Mart has a good sized collection of Jewish Music. They had mostly 
CD's distributed by Rounder, Tzadik and Knitting Factory (I'm not sure who is 
the distributer for that but I would think that it must be a jazz label or a 
label with jazz. They Rounder disks in because of all the blues music that 
Rounder has.) This may be a good place to check for records, I'm not sure my 
collection is mostly on CD's.
