RE: Gigs in Cleveland

[Jewish Music Institute <jewishmusic...>]

Surely its not the bands' fault that there are not gigs in Cleveland.  Why does 
someone
from Cleveland (or anywhere else) not pick up a phone and invite a band of 
their choice.
Of course they would have to provide the venue, the publicity and a fee. There 
are
plenty of organizations, synagogues, the wonderful JCCs across your country 
(that we
don't have in the UK) that would do themselves a big favor emotionally, 
communally and
financially if they would do that and a good time would be had by all.  Ari's 
Klezmer
Shack provides contacts for hundreds of bands.

By the way, I am organizing a little UK tour for the fabulous duo, 'Klezmer en 
Buenos
Aires' in March this year.   If any UK list members want to invite them to 
their center
or can help organize something between 26 March and 2 April 2001 (or in France 
after 4
April), please contact me.

Klezmer en Buenos Aires

Cesar Lerner, (piano, accordion, percussion) Marcelo Moguilevsky, (clarinet, 
saxophone
flutes, and vocals)
Outstanding musicianship and humorous personality make this one of the world's 
top
ensembles, reviving the music of their Jewish grandparents and bringing Klezmer 
to life
from the country of the Tango. Both performers are well-known composers and 
performers
in Argentina with numerous film, theatre and TV scores to their credit.
They have appeared to tremendous acclaim at home and at world music festivals. 
In 1998
the Klezmer duo gave more than 100 concerts for both the Jewish community and 
the wider
public.  They were heard by more than 10,000 people, at the most prestigious 
theatres of
Buenos Aires, performing the music on Basavilbaso, the title of their second 
album,
(named after the place where Jewish immigrants first lived in Argentina). In 
September
1999, they performed at the Ashkenaz festival in Toronto, where they were 
considered
"revelation group" amongst 175 artists from all countries and also performed at 
Tonic,
in New York. In the year 2000, Lerner & Moguilevsky played in Festivals in 
Chemnitz,
Berlin, and France as well as appearing at the 10th International Jewish Music 
Festival
in London, and at the renowned Knitting Factory of New York.

It is a shame that so many bands in the NYC area, especially the lesser known
ones, are unable or unwilling to perform too far away from their home base.
I'm not picking on them, it's just a fact that there  probably are more bands
in NYC than anywhere else so we will hear more about their "local gigs".
Hey, if the Toronto, Cleveland or Boston or anywhere else bands want to
announce their local performances, I assume nobody would object.
