RE: Mark Kligman's article in American Jewish Year Book 2001

[Lorin Sklamberg <lsklamberg...>]

Hi all!

Kudos to Judith Pinnolis for calling my attention to Mark Kligman's article,
"Contemporary Jewish Music in America" in the American Jewish Year Book,
2001. I enjoyed reading and learning from it (as usual with Mark's work) and
recommend it to everyone on the List.

For those of you who do read it (and even for those who don't), here is
(are) one (well, two) personal correction(s):

The Klezmatics is a collective band, and always has been. Though you (and I)
have probably seen it in print any number of times (here, the Rough Guide to
World Music, etc.) the truth is: Frank London is not the leader of the
Klezmatics. He writes, he arranges, he blows, he smokes pot (all
brilliantly, if I may say so), but our leader? No.

On a slightly different (well, not that different) note, it is not Frank
London's 1998 release, Niggunim, but Frank London, Lorin Sklamberg *and* Uri
Caine's 1998 release, Nigunim. But that's just my ego talking.

Thanks for allowing me to vent, er, give you the straight (!) facts.
