CRITIC'S NOTEBOOK
In a Universe of Music, a World Tour of CD's
By JON PARELES

The only passing mention of Jewish music is in a paragraph about Turkish Rom
music:

<The Istanbul Oriental Ensemble, slightly more refined, plays compositions
by the group's leader, Burhan Ocal, that are rooted in Gypsy music and
propelled by Mr. Ocal's hand drumming on the darbuka. Both ensembles are
only a few long leaps away from klezmer music.>
