The “twist” to this Jewish music is a thick dash of avant jazz. A mix of instrumentals and 2 vocals (w/a fine female singer). Clarinet, bass, tenor sax, piano, violin, viola, and percussion. Great strings typically conversing at counterpoint. 1. Slow and almost dirge-like w/ short squeaky bits. *2. Varying tempos. Starts mid, gets slow, picks up you can hear the folk dance buried underneath. A very cool sound. Ends quirkily. *3. Down/mid strings that trip headlong. Just strings, wandering around 4. Romanian Yiddish/English ballad. Vocals, warm sax/bass. *5. Midtempo hora w/lush strings. Rather elegant. 6. Slow, mournful sax then mid. Atmospherically dark. *7. Percussive bass/sax, mid/slow. Then more driving. 8. Upbeat vocal track. FCC: motherfuckah. 9. Slow, 3 takes on a prayer. Oddly both melodic & harsh. | ||
