Album Notes & Community Reviews

The band's second album, 'Rhythm + Jews' places Frank London's trumpet and David Krakauer's clarinet inside a lineup completed by Lorin Sklamberg and Alicia Svigals, on a program that includes 'NY Psycho Freylekhs'. It reached the top ten of Billboard's world music chart and carried the New York klezmer revival far beyond its home scene.
