Harbst

Jazz-Klezmer-cabaret fusion. Sax, violin, clarinet, accordion, trumpets, horn, trombone, male and female voices. Does not sound as artificial as one might fear. The different styles are fused to form something quite different altogether with darker tones in some tracks. Mostly original compositions. Good musicianship. Male singer that sounds like a combination of a cantor and a bariton Al Gereau. The female singer has a more traditional Yiddish sound.
