Hello all, I spent a few hours with Josh and Stu last week, we played a few
notes and had a listen to the Veretski Pass CeeDee. Its very cool. Very
rhythmic. These folks can play. Cookie pulls a great big waterfall of sound out
of her fiddle. Josh's Schrammel Accordion sounds so string like that the unison
with the fiddle sounds like a small string section. The tsimble playing is
great. Stu's work on this CD is amazing, so focused, so rhythmic, he's an
empath of the highest order who seems to know what you will do before you do.
This CD is one of the very best things I have heard in the style. A trio that
sounds like a quintet. Sounds like more than the sum of its parts. Did I
mention that Cookie sounds mahoovalous ? Standing tall in those custom made
boots. Taking charge. Does anyone play with her drive, commitment and soul ? No
one comes to mind. Al W.

I see there's now a web site for Veretski Pass, a new "supergroup" klezmer
trio with Josh Horowitz, Cookie Segelstein and Stu Brotman. The link is:
www.veretskipass.com
Their new cd is coming out in a few months. An exciting development indeed!
