This 4-piece band plays klezmer in the style of itinerant Carpathian musicians of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Folksy, earthy, very catchy. Very well played instrumentals, mostly strings: violin, trumpet, cello, perc, dulcimer, viola. 1. Starts slow, gets mid and becomes nicely toe-tapping. *2. Voices in back, then two upbeat wedding dances. *3. Upbeat, tinny, seems to be falling over itself. 4. Midtempo w/strings and percussion. 5. Solo fiddle then dulcimer then strings. Mid, then picks up. *6. Trumpet starts mid, then an upbeat mélange. Bright. 7. Midtempo tango-esque w/a dark sort of beat to it. *8. Bright, midtempo hora that gets lyrical. 9. Starts slow, rather dark. Becomes a mid/up medley. 10. Spoken intro to 3 gypsy folk dances. Mid then upbeat, then mid. *11. Dulcimer carries this tinny, old-fashioned waltz. Very sweet. 12. Toe-tapping upbeat folk dance. 13. Short (38 seconds) w/a buzzing whistle & perc. Upbeat. *14. Slow introduction picks up and becomes a fast dance. 15. Slow hora w/a pretty, nostalgic quality. Kind of sad. 16. 10+ minutes. Starts slow, picks up, gets almost jazzy. | ||
