might I humbly suggest "The Essential Klezmer: A Music Lover's Guide to
Jewish Roots and Soul,"
which includes a discography of approximately 300 klezmer and
closely-related-to-klezmer titles?

Soul"

"Rogovoy's book is especially valuable to the fan because he focuses less on
the history of klezmer (which he does cover) and more on the musicians and
the available recordings that demonstrate the sheer breadth of klezmer's
style and form.? ? Publisher?s Weekly
