Bonjour, Serge!

Hi--I'm Lori, the Director of the Maxwell Street Klezmer Band.  We do 
original spins on klezmer and Yiddish music (in a traditional jazz and 
classical vein), accenting the music's joyful spirit and humor.  We've been 
around since 1983 and have just released our fourth album on the Shanachie 
label.  One of the tracks from our third album was recently used on "State of 
Grace" (ABC Family TV), which brought in a pleasant sum.  I think there are 
many more accessible tracks on our recordings ready to be offered to the 
American mainstream.

Maxwell Street's recent touring has been in Europe.  (The band is currently 
playing at a festival in Norway, and goes to Germany in July.)  We dropped 
our agent and are doing our own bookings for now, but I'd be happy to talk to 
anyone who has the two great ingredients that appear to be lacking in much of 
the agent population: Honesty and Energy!  Please tell me about yourself, and 
let me know your website so I can take a peek.

If you will give me your address, I'll pop our last 2 CDs in the mail to you. 
 And thank you for taking the time to contact me.

Shalom,

Lori Lippitz
