on Metropolitan Klezmer's latest cd, SURPRISING FINDS:

"An assemblage of eight outstanding musicians from the worlds of rock, jazz, 
folk and world music, Metropolitan Klezmer is one of (I'd argue strongly for 
*the*, but I'm sure of universal agreement on "one of") the best klezmer bands 
in the world today. That's high praise, but it was earned on the basis of 
their two previous albums, Yiddish For Travelers and Mosaic Persuasion. 
Surprising 
Finds, the group's third release, though, takes them to an even higher level, 
although I might not have believed such a thing was possible before hearing 
it. 

"Combining live and studio tracks with archival recordings from the Yiddish 
theater and the family archives of vocalist Deborah Karpel... with a healthy 
dose of their own creations folded into the mix, to present a delightfully 
multi-dimensional view of a musical form that is far too easily stereotyped, 
not 
only by those unfamiliar with its range, but unfortunately by some of its 
practitioners as well..."
