Re: A QUERY

Not about Odessa, but for whatever it's worth, Zev Feldman said this in the
liner notes to the new Khevrisa album:

"The transitional repertoire emerged out of the musical symbiosis of Jewish
klezmorim with Gypsy lautari in Wallachia/Moldovia, which had its origins
in the early to mid-18th century. By 1800 it was common for both groups to
perform together, so that in some towns the leading 'Gypsy' musician was a
Jew and the leading 'Jewish' musician was a Gypsy." (pp.5-6)
