Re: New Klezmer Recommendations?

[Lori M Simon <lorelecs...>]

Hi Jill,

May I be so bold as to recommend my own CD?  ;-)  My latest album is a
compilation of the songs of composer Mikhl Gelbart, and is called Vessel
of Song.  It has 15 cuts, most of which are definitely uptempo and make
me wanna dance.  The instrumentation is traditional: violin (Steven
Greenman), accordion (Walt Mahovlich), tsimbl and poyk (Alexander
Fedoriouk), bass (Henry Shapiro), flute (Adrianne Greenbaum), and I sing.

I would bet that you haven't heard most of the melodies, either! 
Additionally, there's a fun, madly spinning, khanike medley on it, which
you must have for your khanike sing-alongs and twirling pleasure.
