Re: New CD, Harmonica Galitzianer: Klezmer Music for the Diatonic Harmonica

[Susan Lerner <meydele...>]

It was nice to receive this email as I am sitting and listening to this CD.  I 
wholeheartedly recommend it.  It is very listenable, a terrific combination of 
klezmer and bluesy jazz.  The harmonica sounds great doing this repertoire and 
the other players are very good.  This is my 3rd listen in 2 days and my 
enjoyment only increases with each successive hearing.
