Fwd: The Cracow Klezmer Band

[Ari Davidow <ari...>]

I thought this might be of interest to the list.

>
> Dear Friends,
>
>  The Cracow Klezmer Band was formed in 1997 at the initiative of the
> outstanding accordionist and arranger Jaroslaw Bester. At first, the group
> played only traditional klezmer music. Over time, inspired by authentic folk
> music that blended elements of traditional Jewish music, contemporary jazz,
> and Balkan music, the group created its own original, unique style. 
>
>  The Cracow Klezmer Band's debut album, De Profundis, came out in September
> 2000 on John Zorn's famous New-York-based Tzadik label. This is the first
> time that the work of Polish musicians has been released on this prestigious
> label. De Profundis established The Cracow Klezmer Band as one of the most
> fascinating phenomena within the radical current of the modern Jewish musical
> renaissance. 
>
>  In November 2001, John Zorn released The Warriors, the Cracow Klezmer Band's
> second album on the Tzadik label. The group will play a series of concerts in
> New York in March 2002.
