Khevrise @ Tonic NYC

[r l reid <ro...>]

Zev Feldman, Steven Greenman, and Michael Alpert did a wonderful few 
hours of music at Tonic this afternoon.  They had so much good material 
to get through we never did quite get to the dancing, but the new 
project - I can't remember exactly their title,, but they are doing a 
wedding cycle, with Alpert as the (sweet, funny, and tragic) badkahn - 
sounds very good.  I hope it will be recorded eventually.  Reeds and
horns are well and good, but a tsimbl and two violins is sublime.

Not entirely coincidentaly a buddy and I got together after to play
violin and tsimbl ourselves.  I thought we might feel inadequate after
Khevrise, but in fact it just got us psyched and we had a good time.
