The New Orleans Klezmer All-Stars is a band like no other in the South. In the tradition of itinerant European Klezmer artists who gathered musical styles from cultures visited, the New Orleans Klezmer All-Stars integrate the spirited sounds of New Orleans into a musical genre that has invigorated and moved audiences to dance for hundreds of years. This 1993 and 1994 Big Easy Entertainment Award winning band has brought funk to Jewish folk.
To experience the Klezmers is exhilarating. By incorporating modern brass, main-stream jazz, and uniquely New Orleans second-line rhythms into Yiddish dance music, the Klezmers blend together a dynamic and expressive sound. They have already cultivated a devoted throng of followers including the likes of Lyle Lovett and Julia Roberts (People Magazine July 12, 1993). In case it's not clear, this is not just another bar mitzvah band.
