EUCD2584

A vibrant album with an eclectic collection of klezmer music, with bands hailing from Poland, the UK, Germany, the Americas, Sweden and Denmark. With colourful variety in styles and instrumentations from ‘ethnic’ to ‘jazzy’, the music exudes a particular charm, a kind of melancholic exuberance, at once happy and sad. Info about each of the pieces. Total playing time: 62:25 min.
