Music from Romania and a few other places...
Art Bailey’s Orkestra Popilar is a quintet consisting of accordion, two violins, mandolin and bass that highlights both well-known and more obscure klezmer tunes, as well as Bailey’s own original compositions. The repertoire is a mix of early 20th century Jewish fiddle pieces, original compositions, improvisation, and features material originally recorded by Romanian-born cymbalom master and Lower East Side restaurateur, Joseph Moskowitz. Reminiscent of an earlier time in the history of recorded Jewish music, the result is fresh, unique, and thoroughly engaging.
