A rousing album with a wide collection of klezmer music, with bands hailing from Canada, Poland, Germany, the Americas, the UK and Sweden. A kaleidoscope of styles and instrumentations from ‘ethnic’ to ‘jazzy’, the music exudes a particular charm, a kind of melancholic exuberance, at once sad and happy. Info about the groups and each of the pieces. Total playing time: 71:24 min.
