Why is Wex so funny? I blame it on Alberta, or at least the Calgary Hebrew Day School, which we both attended (me for just a few early years, insufficient for an adequate humor education, in the early 1960s). [ari]

The Klez Dispensers are juicy, fresh and daring. Audiences can't get enough of their exciting performances, impeccable arrangements and versatile improvisations. The band's repertoire includes classic klezmer, Yiddish swing and original compositions. Their sensitive blend of old world and downtown appeals to all generations.
The Klez Dispensers were called one of the 2007 Montreal International Jazz Festival's "Best of the Fest." The band has crammed their sound into New York nooks such as Satalla, Makor, Tonic, and CBGB's, filled Lincoln Center's Damrosch Park and Cape May's music festival, and lent their joyful noise to countless celebrations and festivals. Several members of The Klez Dispensers are "graduates" of KlezKanada's Scholarship Program and are now beloved members of the KlezKanada faculty.
"I will go out on a limb and state that this band, The Klez Dispensers, is the finest young group playing classic American klezmer style that I have heard, both individually and collectively." Pete Sokolow, klezmer legend
The Klez Dispensers brings together an amazing line-up of musicians. Formed in 1998, the band is an eight-piece ensemble comprising clarinet, trumpet, saxophone, violin, piano, bass, drums and vocals. The internationally acclaimed Susan Watts (vocals, trumpet) represents the youngest generation of a klezmer dynasty that reaches back to the Jewish Ukraine of the 19th century. Alex Kontorovich (clarinet, alto and baritone sax) is one of the young rising stars on the NYC and international klezmer and jazz scenes. Ben Holmes (trumpet) is a Brooklyn-based trumpeter who performs regularly with many ensembles. Amy Zakar (violin, mandolin) is a second-generation musician from New York City. She is versed in classical, folk, and jazz as well as klezmer. Audrey Betsy Wright (alto and tenor sax, clarinet) plays nearly every genre of music on her saxophones, clarinet, and flute. Hailing from Austrailia, Adrian Banner (piano) is a performer, composer, and arranger in a wide variety of musical styles. Heather Chriscaden Versace (bass) is active as a bassist, music theory instructor, private lesson instructor, and clinician. She has performed throughout the U.S., Japan, and Colombia. Gregg Mervine (drums) is a freelancer with klezmer, jazz, gypsy, avant-garde, and latin bands between Philadelphia and New York.

Cargo London, 83 Rivington Street, Shoreditch, London EC2A 3AY
Doors open 7.30pm. Tickets £8 in advance from jcclondon.org.uk or 0207 431 9866. £10 on the door.
An electro-acoustic club night featuring funk, jazz, scratch band The Apples, and new live music / live animation Chagall Illuminated.
The Apples who sold out and ripped up the Jazz's Café earlier this year in their first London visit The Apples are a nine-strong group hailing from Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa, who weave big band jazz into raw funk rhythm patterns and scratch routines. Their live performances have audiences dancing and laughing from the opening beat. Into the mix they throw anything from Ray Charles samples to traditional Jewish Klezmer melodies.
In Chagall Illuminated, animators, including BAFTA-award winning Asaf Agranat and Kelly Budge (Your mum), unleash a landscape in which the Stetl in Vitebsk morphs into a rainbow hued metropolis populated with floating lovers and falling fiddlers, while donkeys, dogs and cats somersault across rooftops and Marc himself juggles birth, death, revolution, the enlightenment, biblical visions, pogroms, poverty and redemption over our heads. Underscoring and improvising this landscape is the new music: LIVE: Max Reinhardt (laptop and gizmos) and Tamar Osbourn (clarinets and soprano sax) plus virtual additions from Steve Reich, Lemez Lovas (Oi Va Voi) and Ben Mandelson.
This event is standing-only and is part of the London Jazz Festival.

Presented by The Jewish Music Festival and The Hub
New Yiddish Dance Class at NY's 92 St. Y presented by Center for Traditional Music and Dance and the 92 St. Y.
CTMD announces a new partnership with Manhattan's 92 St Y to offer a series of Yiddish dance classes beginning in September led by Walter Zev Feldman and other master dance leaders.
Building on our monthly Tantshoyz (dance house) series at the JCC in Manhattan, the 92 St. Y classes will provide intermediate and advanced dancers with a more in-depth opportunity to explore classic Yiddish and coterritorial dances such as the sher, hora/zhok, freylekhs, honga, hora moldavaneasca and bulgar. Special focus will also be given to the expressive power and gestures of solo dance. Classes will feature live klezmer music performed by Jake Shulman-Ment on violin and Pete Rushefsky on tsimbl (hammered dulcimer).
Eight, three-hour sessions will be held on the following Sundays, from 2PM-5PM: September 30, October 21, November 18, January 20, February 17, March 30, April 27, and June 1. Cost for the series is $250 (interested participants must register for the entire series). To register or for more information, go to the 92nd St. Y website or call Pete Rushefsky at 212-571-1555 ext. 36 or email Pete.
And stay tuned for information about a new season of Tantshoyzen and a December 9 Symposium at NYU entitled Defining Yiddish Dance: Sacred, Secular, Borrowed and Transformed.
The Center for Traditional Music and Dance's Yiddish Dance Project is supported by the Forward Association, the New York State Council on the Arts Division of Folk Arts and public funds from the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs.

Cellie
quartet de Jazz
La musique de Cellie est émouvante et nous apaise autant que les textes qu'elle chante en français, swahili, anglais, créole et en yiddish. D'origine cubaine, juive polonaise, guinéenne et libanaise, elle a grandi dans la petite Jérusalem, à Sarcelles. Comme si toutes ses origines la comblaient... et nous avec.

Margot Leverett et Monique Lansdorp
klezmer-country
Margotte Leverett et son Klezmer Mountain Boys s'intéressent aux affinités communes entre la country et le klezmer. La base instrumentale de ces deux genres est semblable, ces deux musiques parlent de l'âme, celle d'un peuple. C'est surtout ce dialogue qui a intéressé Margot Leverett. Une expérience d'ouverture qui fait tout le sel de cette musique de fusion.
