Margot Leverett is one of the foremost clarinetists of the klezmer revival. Classically trained at Indiana University School of Music, she was involved in avant-garde music when she first heard klezmer, the dynamic East European music traditionally played at Jewish weddings. Leverett was a founding member of the Klezmatics in 1985 before moving on to establish a solo career. Her first CD, "The Art of Klezmer Clarinet," a tribute to classic klezmer of the 20's and 30's, was released in 2001 on Traditional Crossroads (CD4296) to glowing reviews. Her “Klezmer Mountain Boys” band has delighted audiences around the world. Margot will play in a classic klezmer trio format with Patrick Farrell on accordion and Aaron Alexander on drums.

Well, it happens, the Patriots get to the Super Bowl and then the klezmorim get invited to participate. Rumor has it that Loren Sklamberg will sing the National Anthem and that the Yeshiva University Marching Band will perform at halftime. Even if that doesn't really happen, the Hub-Klez will be likely glued to their TVs.

So, the February jam will be Feb 12 Sunday 7-9 pm at the Workmen's Circle.
1762 Beacon St. Brookline.

Pianists should bring keyboards. Music is available for purchase.

Dave Levitt learned the music business from his parents. They got him started at age eight in Hollywood, Florida. He went on to appear with his folks at every one of their performances. First it was drums and clarinet. Later it became alto sax before Dave finally settled with the trombone at age fourteen. As a teenager Dave attended the famous Laguardia H.S. of Music and Art in New York. While a student there, he was a cast member in the Elizabeth Swados production "Swing" which had a run at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. After completing High School, Dave attended Manhattan School Of Music on a scholarship. As student at MSM, Levitt had the good fortune of appearing with many notable jazz musicians. They included Red Rodney, Al Grey, Clark Terry as well as many others. It was about this time that Dave started to arrange and record Klezmer music with his father. These recordings also included their distant cousin Howie Leess on alto saxophone. After finishing his education, Dave took his artistry on the road which included the U.S. as well as Europe. Two of his European tours were with the Epstein Brothers Klezmer Band. Dave was the youngest member of the group as the brothers were well into their 70's. The eldest brother Max Epstein was in his early 80's. It was about this time that Dave started his own company called Progressive Music. The business operated as a rehearsal/recording studio for thirteen years. The business has since shifted gears and Dave is now involved in publishing as well as operating as a record label. The initial release of the label is called "Marty Levitt's Greatest Hits". It's a series of recordings with two generations in the ensemble. (Marty and Dave Levitt).

Klezwoods with openers Trubaci Balkan Brass Band

January 26th
Johnny D's Uptown
17 Holland St., Somerville, MA (Davis Sq.) 02144
7:30-9:30pm
$10

We are returning to one of our favorite venues, Johnny D's Uptown (Davis Sq., Somerville) for a show that will surely be remembered. We always love to play at this classic Somerville spot and are continuing the tradition of providing stellar and entertaining opening bands for the show. Last Spring we brought the Underscore Orkestra gypsy band from Oregon, this fall we had the Elephant Wrecking Ball, and this time around we are getting the Trubaci Balkan Brass Band! They will start the show off with a blast of brass that will surely get the party started right! They mix traditional eastern european flavors with intense improvisation and tight rhythms and harmonies. Trumpets, saxophones, trombones, tubas and drums will be blowing the roof off. Following Trubaci, Klezwoods will be rocking the house with our usual Klezmer/Eastern European blend of hard grooves, improvisation and melodies.

This is a particularly special show for us, as we will be hitting the studio the very next day to record our next full length album! We will be travelling up to Syracuse, N.Y. for a weekend of recording at More Sound Studios. We are very excited to get rolling on this one, as it will feature a lot of new and original material as well as some classic repertoire that will make for an interesting and fun album to listen to.

So come out and see us off with a night of great music, food, drinks and company! We hope to see you out this Thursday night!

Klezmer Concert: The Philadelphia Folklore Project presents award-winning drummer Elaine Hoffman Watts and her daughter, acclaimed vocalist and trumpeter Susan Lankin Watts in an evening of klezmer music devoted to saying good riddance to all the mishegas (Yiddish for "€œcraziness"€ or "€œinsanity"€) in our world today. Klezmer is the celebratory music of Eastern European Jews. "€œGoodnight Mishegas"€ is a line in the Hoffman family's Goodnight Waltz, composed close to a century ago, with words recently penned by Susan. The Folklore Project invites people to sing along at the concert and, in celebration of family and community traditions, to reflect on possibilities for turning our woes into joy.

KLEZMER CONQUEST: A Battle of The Bands

Temple Aliyah

1664 Central Ave-Needham, MA
December 11th at 7 PM
$ 5 ticket

Join our special guest MCs, our Natick neighbors, Cantor Ken Richmond and Rabbi Shira Shazeer for an entertaining evening of Klezmer as four local bands hit the Aliyah bandstand. Having performed klezmer and Yiddish songs up and down the East Coast, in Israel, and in Eastern Europe, Ken and Shira will keep the program moving with their musical taklents, Yiddishkeit, and humor..

Our four Klezmer Kontenders are:

Klezjam who have playing together for nearly 3 years. We play at nursing homes, assisted living centers, and an occasional bar mitzvah and wedding. The band got its name from the fact that we met playing at two regular jams -- the Workmen's Circle jam and the Watertown.jam.

JCC Klezmer ensemble is a class of The JCC in Newton lead by Barry Shapiro. Barry has been along-time member of the Boston music scene and was a founding member of The Klezmer Conservatory Band, Shirim, and the B.S.O. (Barry Shapiro Orchestra).

Shir Madness plays a mix of Yiddish show tunes, folk tunes and hits from the Borscht Belt. The band plays all of the distinctive dances and styles -- bulgars, Terkishes, freylakhs, horas, shers, hongas, waltzes and marches -- all of them popular in Eastern Europe and in the U.S. in the early part of the twentieth century. The band especially loves the wild and swinging music from the golden age of the great bandleaders -- people like Dave Tarras, Abe Schwartz, German Goldenshteyn, Harry Kandel, and Naftule Brandwein. We also play original pieces written by our clarinet player, Richard Yospin.

The Shpilkes Klezmer Band has become a mainstay of the Purim celebrations and congregational events at various synagogues in MetroWest. The name "Shpilkes" ..(שפּילקעס).. is a Yiddish word for "nervous energy". The word is also sufficiently like the Yiddish term "shpil", meaning play, that it can help to think of it as "playing instead of sitting still". That's where Shpilkes Klezmer Band is at, hyperactive, ready to play and certainly not to sit still. No one can listen to Klezmer by Shpilkes without wanting to dance to its lively, living melodies and relating to the instrumental voices that sing of the human experience.

Zoyres & Charming Hostess: Holiday show with winter songs (and sauerkraut!).
Subterranean Arthouse, 2179 Bancroft Way, Berkeley
Saturday December 10
$15-$30 suggested donation, no one turned away for lack of funds.
Advance tickets: www.brownpapertickets.com
http://charminghostess.us
www.zoyres.com

Charming Hostess makes lovely noise about complex ideas is at the intersection of voice, text and diaspora consciousness. Their music is based on the sounding body: voices and winds, handclaps and heartbeats, sex-breath and silence. They are known for their whirl of eerie harmony, hot rhythm, and radical smarts. This holiday show will feature winter songs of darkness, joy and mystery. Charming Hostess is also presenting music from their installation, The Bowls Project (Tzadik, 2010). Based on inscriptions from Babylonian Jewish amulets known as "demon bowls," The Bowls Project sings of sex, ritual and secrets of the home. File under: APOCALYPTIC-INTIMATE

Zoyres Eastern European Wild Ferment performs original and Eastern European traditional music (klezmer, Balkan, etc.), approaching these from both a “traditional” and stretched out /experimental framework. The name "Zoyres" derives from the Yiddish term for fermented vegetables, "zoyers." These foods have been transformed by culture and community (of the microbial sort) through incredible biochemical fermentation processes. These "cultural" transformations underlie our own cultural development, as humans have relied and reveled in fermented foods for millennia. Zoyres' music represents the geo-social analogue to the biochemical ferment. Our music, of Eastern European origin, brined in the contemporary cultural milieu, is akin to the pickle, still evident in its cucumbral origin, but with a taste and texture transformed.

Christopher Brooks, violin, is former concertmaster of Orquesta Bética Filarmónica de Sevilla (Spain) and the Harrisburg Symphony, and violinist with the Susquehanna String Quartet. Brooks draws from deep classical and Jewish roots in his thoughtful and soulful improvisations.

Pete Bainbridge, bass ‘viol, supports the ensemble with a solid harmonic and rhythmic foundation as well as offering tantalizing, free-ranging solos.

Jon Kunkle’s classically-trained and jazz-inspired electric guitar engoldens the sound of the ensemble, both while tastefully supporting the melody and during his elegant solos.

Dave Young has played drums with every important jazz musician in the region. Young has the rare ability to stitch an ensemble together, creating a whole much more than its parts.

GOYLEM !

Musique Klezmer

Patrice Mugny: accordéon
Bianca Favez: violon
Michel Borzykowski; saxophones
David Morhain: Percussions

Mercredi 2 novembre 2011 à 20h30
Au Manège d’Onex
127 Route de Chancy
1213 Onex (Genève, Suisse)

Réservations: tél 0041 22 879 59 99
Billets en vente à l’entrée dès 19h30: 20 CHF / Etudiants, AVS: 15 CHF.

Le klezmer est la musique que les baladins juifs ont colportée de fête en fête et de shtetl (bourgade) en ghetto dans toute l’Europe de l’Est depuis le Moyen Âge.

Bercé dans la liturgie, nourri de mélodies extatiques hassidiques et de chants profanes, il s'est encanaillé dans les auberges et enrichi de théâtre et de danses populaires. En symbiose avec les musiques slaves, tsiganes et ottomanes, il a acquis une diversité et une richesse d'expression incomparables.

Avec ses variations de rythme, ses dissonances, ses ornementations et une touche d’improvisation, le klezmer incite à la spiritualité et à la danse en exprimant toutes les émotions: joie et tristesse, recueillement, amour ou ivresse, sans oublier l'humour… juif!

Extirpé d’Europe, par le nazisme et le stalinisme, il s'est bouturé au jazz en Amérique avant de redevenir populaire dans le monde entier.

Perpétuant la tradition sans la figer, GOYLEM ! joue depuis 1996 ses compositions originales et de nombreux thèmes klezmer, arrangés à sa façon et parfois métissés de chants séfarades, de musique classique et de swing…

Vagabond Opera
October 23, 2011, 7pm
Skokie Theatre
7924 N. LIncoln Ave.
Skokie, IL

Bohemian Cabaret ensemble Vagabond Opera is described by the Washington Post as "A band of ceaseless charisma, boundless energy, impeccable musicianship and more than a little touch of both the naughty and exotic."

The group delivers passionate offerings of Bohemian cabaret for young and old. Paris hot jazz, gut bucket swing, tangos, Ukrainian folk-punk ballads, klezmer and vigorous originals meet a world of riverboat gambling queens, Turkish belly dancers, and the enigmatic Marlene Dietrich. Weaving elements of Kurt Weil, Duke Ellington and Edith Piaf with absurdist flair, theatrics and an old world mood, Vagabond Opera presents the new wave of opera–lusty voices singing in 13 languages and presenting a cabaret of rich musical phrasing, sparkling lyrics and indomitable stage presence, all played with exuberance, skill and a gritty Vagabond edge. This is Opera liberated and reinvented for everyone!

Red Hot Chachkas and Cradle Duende Friday October 14, 9:00 pm Subterranean Arthouse
2179 Bancroft, downtown Berkeley
$15-30 suggested donation,
no one turned away for lack of funds
Advance tickets at www.brownpapertickets.com

The internationally-acclaimed and Bay Area based Red Hot Chachkas infuse the klezmer tradition of Eastern European Yiddish music with jazz, rock, oldtime, classical, and latin influences. Their hot sound and uptempo beat has folks up dancing. Bandleader and classical violinist Julie Egger is joined by seasoned musicians from disparate backgrounds: soulful Barbara Speed (clarinet), balkanized Diana Strong (accordion), bluegrass Tony Phillips (mandolin), jazzy Breck Diebel (bass), and rockin' Michael Arrow (drums).

Cradle Duende presents a combination of klezmer and flamenco, 'klezmenco,' with an infusion of reggae and cumbia dance rhythms. Cradle Duende takes its name from the Spanish word 'duende,' in reference to a musically heightened state of emotion, expression and authenticity; and a merging of disparate musical traditions that each evolved from independent cradles of civilization. Cradle Duende brings the strength of deep cultural roots into the party atmosphere.

JuMu présente l’Artichaut Orkestra (Toulouse)

L’AVENIR DE LA MUSIQUE KLEZMER

L’ARTICHAUT ORKESTRA : T for Teresa

International album lauching party!! (Tzadik), en partenariat avec TSF JAZZ

Le Jeudi 13 octobre 2011 19h00 (doors à 18h00)
LE STUDIO DE L’ERMITAGE
8 rue de l’ermitage 75020 PARIS

Location : fnac, Digitick

Brillant quatuor toulousain instigué par le clarinettiste Camille Artichaut (disciple talentueux de David Krakauer) et par l'accordéoniste Pierre-Emmanuel Roubet. Tout commence par une compilation de thèmes Yiddish-Klezmer des années 30 qui s'impose comme une source d'un avenir musical à créer. Depuis cet héritage de hasard, les projets pleuvent pour les jeunes artistes : d'écoles de jazz (Music-Halle à Toulouse où ils rencontrent Frédéric Petitprez), en excellence ("Voix Mêlées", premiers contacts avec Sébastien Rideau), de rencontres de maîtres (Camille Artichaut suit David Krakauer à New York où Frédéric Petitprez accompagne Leon Parker), en tournées françaises (celles de Magyd Cherfi chanteur de Zebda) et Music Hall (Camille Artichaut joue sur le spectacle "Cabaret" de Sam Mendes aux Folies Bergères à Paris).

Voici donc quatre musiciens déterminés à faire vivre une création ancrée dans l'esprit de ces mélopées intemporelles. Leur goût pour cette musique ne peut que résider dans la mixité extrême qui à été fatalement imposée à cette culture. Depuis 3 ans l'Artichaut Orkestra a joué dans de multiples festivals (31 notes d'été, Marciac...), clubs (Mandala, Triton, Délirium) et théâtres (Limoges, Toulouse, Paris...).

Camille Artichaut – clarinette
Frédéric Petitprez – Batterie
Sébastien Rideau – Guitare électrique
Pierre-Emmanuel Roubet – Accordéon / Voix

Concert préfacé par Estelle Goldfarb & special guests : Ezra (beatbox) et Olivier Koundouno (cello)

Estelle Goldfarb fait corps avec son violon. C’est ainsi depuis toute petite. Elle eût pu rester dans le giron du classique, la destinée naturelle
d’une violoniste, ou bien enflammer les mariages, les baptêmes, bref, les fêtes, orientales, juives, tziganes... ou encore jammer avec tout ce qui groove. Mais voilà, Estelle chante. Pas elle, son violon, en fait, ça revient au même... Ses notes ont le poids des mots. Tout l’inspire, ses humeurs, ses
élans, son monde. Et LE monde, surtout. Elle travaille à façon : elle dessine les mélodies, coud les rythmes, brode les arrangements. Des envolées souvent lyriques sur canapé électro, pour tisser pleins et déliés du violon sur tapis synthétique. Histoire de mailler éternité et futurisme. Estelle Goldfarb prend son envol solo, que les cieux lui soient cléments

JuMu : le son des nouvelles musiques juives

JuMu, label et agence musicale, « plug' » le passé au présent, branche le klezmer sur l’électro, arrange des mariages entre les rappeurs en papillote

Strauss/Warschauer Duo

Deb Strauss and Jeff Warschauer's performances are an integrated and intimate blend of songs, translations and instrumental music ­ grounded in tradition, yet thoroughly contemporary.

Deborah Strauss will be leading dancing for all who wish to join in! Hank Savin, Teller of Jewish stories opens the show.

Zoyres performs original and Eastern European traditional music (klezmer, Balkan, etc.), approaching these from both a "€œtraditional"€ and stretched out /experimental framework.

Veretski Pass offers a unique and exciting combination of virtuosic musicianship and raw energy that has excited concertgoers across the world. The trio plays Old Country Music with origins in the Ottoman Empire, once fabled as the borderlands of the East and the West. . . .

Presented by Bay Vibes Global Movement and co-sponsored by KlezCalifornia

New World Premieres and Old World Chestnuts

Concert by The The Casco Bay Tummlers klezmer band
Saturday, June 4th at 7 p.m.
at the Frontier Cafe, 14 Maine St - Fort Andross, Brunswick, Maine

Join us in the casual atmosphere of the Frontier Cafe where you can enjoy supper or a drink and share new and old music with The Casco Bay Tummlers. The Casco Bay Tummlers have been playing Jewish music from around the world in their personal, engaging style to audiences in Maine and well beyond for over twenty years. It's been a while since they've performed in the mid-coast area so they are happy to be presenting a concert of new repertoire - including a film score by flutist/guitarist Carl Dimow - along with some of the classic klezmer tunes that have endeared them to their fans.

You can look forward to hearing colorful instrumentation - Carl on flute, bass flute, electric and acoustic guitars, Phil McGowan on drum set and ethnic percussion, Julie Goell on bass and vocals, Nancy 3. Hoffman on accordion and vocals and Steve Gruverman on sax and clarinet - and contrasting styles: jazzy improvisation, witty show tunes, Middle Eastern grooves and, of course, soulful klezmer interpretations, some reflective and some that will tempt you to get up and dance.

The Tummlers are pleased to note that Carl's film compositions were funded in part by a grant from the Maine Arts Commission, an independent state agency supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Cost $10 in advance, $12 at the door. Food, wine and beer for sale at concert.

Yankele
Musique klezmer
Incontournable rendez-vous du Comptoir, c'est un peu comme retrouver de vieux amis, la musique est la même, proche, familière et pourtant gorgée de nouvelles saveurs.
C'est le génie de la musique klezmer, immédiatement reconnaissable. Effluves de l'est, imprégnée de l'âme des poètes yiddish, inlassablement jouée aux mariages et fêtes, échappée des shteyt'l pour suivre des routes improbables où les senteurs se mêlent. Elles se gorgent des parfums des Balkans, de Paris, de New-York et Yankele, « Petit Jean » à cinq têtes, marche depuis 10 ans, besace emplie de trésors étincelants et mutins !
Musiciens virtuoses et généreux, ils « vivent » les mélodies traditionnelles au travers des compositions, d’arrangements originaux et d’improvisations sur le fil de leur formation classique, contemporaine et jazzistique.

CONCERT / CONCERT

Avec Lloica Czackis et Sorin Gheraliu
with Lloica Czackis and Sorin Gheraliu

Dimanche 22 mai à 19h00 / Sunday, May 22, 7.00 p.m.

à la Maison de la culture yiddish - Bibliothèque Medem
29, rue du Château d'Eau 75010 Paris

La musique du peuple juif reflète son mouvement perpétuel d’un pays à un autre, d’une culture à une autre, des langues, des expressions diverses...
La rencontre de Lloica Czackis et de Sorin Gheraliu est celle d’une chanteuse de la chanson yiddish, héritière d’une vie nomade dans sept pays, et d’un cymbaliste tsigane de la Roumanie issu d’une famille de grands musiciens de Balkans.
Cette rencontre est également un lointain souvenir de klezmorim juifs et tsiganes qui jouaient ensemble pour les autres, mais aussi pour eux-mêmes, dans un monde de l’Europe de l’est qui n’existe plus.

Leur langue commune est la musique. Leur musique parle plusieurs langues.

Depuis cinq ans, Lloica, accompagnée parfois de Sorin, anime musicalement les voyages culturels juifs organisés par Valiske.
Si vous avez participé à leurs voyages, venez au spectacle revivre l ’émotion musicale d’autrefois, si vous n’avez pas voyagé avec Valiske, venez pour un départ musical vers l’Espagne médiévale, la Pampa juive, les cabarets de Varsovie et New York des années 1920, vers la Russie... Leur programme inclut de magnifiques poèmes chantés en judéo-espagnol, de chansons pour des enfants de colonies agricoles juives en Argentine, du jazz newyorkais en yiddish, de chansons d’amour en hébreu, de la musique classique en français...

The music of the Jewish people reflects a perpetual motion from one country to another, one culture to another, various languages and modes of expression.

The stage shared by Lloica Czackis and Sorin Gheraliu is an encounter between a singer of Yiddish songs, with a nomad's heritage through seven countries and a Gypsy cymbalist from Rumania, descendent of a family of great Balkan musicians. It also recalls the distant memory of Jewish and Gypsy klezmorim who once played together in a world of Eastern Europe that no longer exists.

Their common language is music. Their music speaks various languages.

For the past five years, Lloica, sometimes accompanied by Sorin, have provided musical entertainment for Jewish cultural tours organized by Valiske.

If you have taken part in their trips, come and relive the past emotion. If you have never traveled with Valiske, come and discover a musical journey through medieval Spain, the Jewish pampas, the cabarets of Warsaw and New York in the 1920s, to far off Russia... Their program includes poems sung in Judeo-Spanish ("Ladino"), children's songs from the Jewish farming colonies of Argentina, New York jazz in Yiddish, as well as love songs in French and Hebrew.

P. A. F. / Admission : 15 €. Membres / Members : 12 €.

Réservation obligatoire au 01 47 00 14 00.
Reservation required: 01 47 00 14 00.
