KLEZMER On Sunday 16 March how about attending Lerner & Moguilevsky Duo ‘Los Señores Klezmer’ afternoon matinee and then Frank London Klezmer Brass All Stars in the evening? Instead of paying €33 (€ 15 + € 18) you get to see them both for only € 25. A few years back New York trumpeter/band leader/composer Frank London (The Klezmatics, Hasidic New Wave) brought together the crème de la crème of the downtown klezmer scene in The Knitting Factory for his Klezmer Brass All Stars. This band pays tribute to the 19th century oriental Jewish band Di Shikere Kapelye (‘The Boozer Band), legendary because of their immense talent and unpredictability. ‘Frank London is the mystical high priest of New Wave Avant-Klez jazz.’ (All About Jazz).
