>Adrienne Cooper, one of the great vocal interpreters of Yiddish music, Dan 
>Rosengard, pianist/arranger, late of Saturday Night Live, & Frank London, 
>famed trumpetter/Klezmatics/ All-Star Brass Band bring to life the 
>extraordinary cabaret music of war-time Eastern Europe.  In the 
>Nazi-mandated ghettos during World War II, audiences gathered in makeshift 
>clubs and theaters to hear newly-created songs, rooted in Jewish folk 
>song, European cabaret, American jazz and Argentine tango. Jewish 
>performers tuned these cosmopolitan songs in a local key: satirical and 
>elegiac, political and personal, angry and heartsick, creating something 
>scarcely conceivable: art at the edge of the abyss.
