Formed in 1994 by drummer/leader Eve Sicular, METROPOLITAN KLEZMER 
is the collaborative adventure of eight exceptional New York musicians 
creating inspired interpretations and originals around Yiddish repertoire 
from all over the map.  The band welcomes in Thanksgiving (and Hanuka!  and 
2003!) 
with a panorama of revved-up and evocative tunes — song and dance of 
the 19th-c. underworld, tenement weddings, and ’20s Moscow Yiddish theater; 
a surprise adaptation from Lionel Bart [né Begleiter]’s ’60s musical 
Oliver!
; 
and a jumping swing take on an old-school tailor’s chant.  
The band performs their latest from Metro’s upcoming release 
and from Rounder Records’ 2003 compilation disc,  The Secret Garden.

 ISMAIL BUTERA - accordion & bendir       
 RICK FAULKNER - trombone
