Klezmer jazz, done in a smoky-lounge mood led by tenor sax. Upbeat and mostly playful. Reminiscent of John Zorn's Masada, unavoidably, but the sound is bigger and less firey, and the atmosphere is closer to traditional, pre-Ornette jazz. Nice stuff.
Includes Steve Bernstein (Lounge Lizards, Sex Mob) on trumpet and former East Bay favorite Peter Apfelbaum on backup sax.
1- Mid/slow and grand, like ballroom music
2- Fast-feeling shuffle
3- Slow, with blaring trumpet solo
4- Mid/fast with sweeping solos
5- Slow, super loungy
6- Traditional celebration piece made swingy
7- Slow horns over fast patter, almost a Calypso sound; gets into near-free overlapping solos
8- Slow crime-jazz feel
9- Big, loud, start-stop piece
