"essential klezmer library" Essential Klezmer, Rogovoy - Top 10 Klezmer CD's of 1999, Moment Magazine - Best Albums of 1999, NY Jewish Week THE KLEZICAL TRADITION's evocative rendering of klezmer and Yiddish music takes you back to an era of sepia-toned photographs, victrolas and pickle barrels as it once was in eastern Europe. The old-time Klezmer was a traveling musician much like a gypsy, and he wandered through most of the countries of Eastern Europe including Russia, Poland, Rumania, and Hungary. The Klezical Tradition is a modern ensemble that holds on to many of the old traditions of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. But, unlike klezmer bands of that time, TKT features the expertise of both men and women, most happy to say. The word "klezmer" literally means vessel of song, from the Hebrew words "kley" and "zemer." An old-time folk musician of Eastern Europe would have been called a "klezmer" and would have been considered an insult to the family if he wanted to pursue the profession of a traveling musician. It is most certainly not considered an insult today to be a klezmer performing klezmer music! The Klezical Tradition band will bring you to an old time wedding, will tell the tales of love and courtship preceding the week-long celebration and also interweave the music and tales of poverty, of childhood as well as the humorous side of these many struggles of typical Eastern European Jewish families in the villages and shtetls, the walled, confined towns. Immigrants to America brought their music and dances and now we bring them to you!
