Description

Another brilliant release by one of Europe’s most original and exciting avant-Klezmer ensembles.

Based in the historic city of Cracow, one of the last strongholds of Jewish life in Poland and home to one of the most important annual festivals of Jewish music in the world, this brilliant quartet blends the spontaneity of improvisation, the precision of classical music and the soul of the Jewish tradition.

Ever-surprising new music by this thrilling band of virtuosos.
