KlezCalendar

"Fine Foreign Film," Michael McLaughlin's (Naftule's Dream, Shirim) latest music project, will be performing its second show this Sunday evening at the Lilypad. Sharing the slot will be the Andy Voelker Quartet. It will be an evening of burning jazz and scrumptious lounge music. Hope to see you folks there.

The Lillypad is in Inman Square Cambridge.
1353 Cambridge St.
Show starts at 7-10

"Fine Foreign Film" plays music from the more obscure Italian film composers, (at least obscure in America), including Benedetto Ghiglia and Pierro Piccioni. Most of the music comes from films of the 50s and 60s, a sound that would later be categorized as lounge music, and be associated with those slick, debonair, Maserati driving, martini drinkers of the time. So if you want to hear some slick, debonair, Maserati, martini music played by some gruffy, awkward, GM driving, PBR drinkers...COME ON DOWN!!!!
No better way to celebrate Easter evening.

The fifty acts Svigals booked revolve around three themes: Jewish music, virtuoso female instrumentalist/improvisers/composers, and all kinds of string music, traditional and contemporary. From an electronic violist turning Bartok on his head to the lightning speed of traditional Bulgarian fiddling; from a master of the traditional klezmer clarinet to spontaneous 21st century keyboard explorations of those ancient melodies, the month is a feast of the most interesting music coming out of New York and beyond.
