RE: a good week for Klezmatics fans

[Lorin Sklamberg <lsklamberg...>]

Well, actually, the U.S. cover came first (and was based on our concept),
but was stubbornly rejected by our EuroLabel. The Piranha artwork features
stills of two faces from a Fellini film superimposed on each other - a
reference to the Ansky/Kushner A Dybbuk; a suite from it appears on the cd.
So - collect them both!

In response to a previous post, this past weekend at RPM Studios in NY the
band and producer/engineer Ben Wisch finished basic tracks on its new
Rounder cd, scheduled for release in the Fall. Included is a suite of tunes
from our collaboration with the Pilobolus Dance Theatre, "Davenen," as well
as a bi-lingual version of Holly Near's great song "I Ain't Afraid."
