Klezmer Beats on Upper Street
4 concerts of distinctive and compelling Eastern European Jewish music and
song
with acclaimed artists and ensembles from Old Europe and Latin America
Union Chapel, Compton Terrace, Upper Street, Islington N1
Nr Highbury Corner

Thursday 23 October 2003, 8.00pm
TangoKlezmer : Giora Feidman Quartet (Argentina/USA)
The Legendary Giora Feidman, who launched the klezmer revival around the
world with his Jewish soul music, returns to London at last.  His
mesmerising musicianship moves an audience regardless of colour, religion or
language.  'Maestro Feidman has the almost magical ability to transform his
clarinet into an eloquent human voice' New York Times

Sunday 9 November 2003, 8.00pm
Tangele - The Pulse of Yiddish Tango
Lloica Czackis mezzo soprano, Gustavo Beytelman, piano/arranger, Juan Lucas
Aisemberg, viola, (Argentina via Europe).
An enthralling celebration of music from two powerful cultures: Yiddish song
and tantalising Tango. Pulsating rhythms from the brothels of Buenos Aires
in the '20s, show stopping tunes of the Yiddish theatres of New York in the
'30s and '40s, and haunting melodies of the ghettos and concentration camps
of wartime Europe. (co-presented by JMI and The Spiro Ark)

Thursday 20 November 2003, 8.00pm
The World Quintet  Formerly known as Kol Simcha (Switzerland)
The World Quintet's sophisticated mix of thrilling jazz improvisations,
exotic Mediterranean melodies and sensuous Eastern European rhythms,
alternating with tender ballads, captivates and enthrals demanding audiences
at New York's Carnegie Hall, London's Queen Elizabeth Hall as well as the
most renowned jazz, classical and world music festivals on three continents.

Saturday 29 November 2003, 8.00pm
Budapest Klezmer Band (Hungary)
Coming from the heart of Europe, where klezmer music originated, this
ensemble sweeps you off your feet from the first moment with their raw
energy, soaring sounds and gypsy folk rhythms.  With exuberant vitality and
yet with extreme poignancy they conjure up a time when this music was an
integral part of European Jewish life.

Subject: new reviews on the KlezmerShack

There are several new reviews on the KlezmerShack this week:

Anthony Coleman / Our Beautiful Garden, 2002
Klezmer Nova / Delicatessen, 2003
Hadass Pal-Yarden / Yahudije, 2003
Kugel / Fingerplay, 2002
Klezmerfest / Party Music, 2002

The descriptions and more are at:
http://www.klezmershack.com/archives/000441.html

I also did a short review of a French comedy, newly available in the
States, "Dad on the Run." This is the first feature film I can remember in
my lifetime with a klezmer soundtrack. Not bad for a madcap comedy about a
North African Jew grown up in France. If you liked "The Mad Adventures of
Rabbi Jacob," I think you'll like this one, too. But klezmer soundtrack?
http://www.klezmershack.com/archives/000440.html

And, as always, this week's and all future events I've had time to list are
on the KlezCalendar, http://www.klezmershack.com/calendar/

Enjoy,
ari
