OK. Klezmer. The Janissaries meet Yiddish swing meets Romani.
Jewish wedding music auf Mitteleuropa. Something different.
Lost Leaf the only place in town I know to showcase such.
And a different sort of place it is.
Walked in and there you go... Gypsies.
Caspian Hat Dance. More Balkan than Klezmer. No clarinet.
Crowd into it. Got the floor bouncing; some Lubavitchers grooving.
Playing the street urchin to the hilt, I guess.
Intense rhythm. Driving tempo. Not too many changes.
Owe it to the tambourine man. Vocals sounded Romani.
All around some body's got a thing for La Escuela Lacrimosa.
Frankly, I just don't see it selling to this clientele.
Can't say that I'm at all taken by the genre.
Awfully drear. Here's to the iconoclasts.
Hope the band finds a laundry.
