The Jews Brothers Band - My Yiddish Swing (RRCD1005 )

My Yiddish Swing

NZ$25.00

Also available from:

This CD includes the track "Tchavolo Swing" featured on Joseph Herscher's machine video, The Page Turner.

Except for the traditional Bulgar, played with typical Jews Brothers panache, and their version of Tchavolo Swing from the film Latcho Drom, here with fun French lyrics by Linn Lorkin, this is an album of original music in the spirit of klezmer. They range from poignant ballads like Hobos and Matus Radzivilover (about a Jewish cantor) to the mad inventiveness of Thredbo, Thredbo with many visits to the territory of swing - and that is swing in the old 30s New York klezmer style, as only The Jews Brothers can play it! Add to that Hershal's inimitable multiple vocal and instrumental arrangements and his and Linn's distinctive voices and styles, plus Nigel Gavin's wild guitar and mandolin solos and you have a unique CD that many a JBB fan has worn out !
