Klezmer Festival 1998: Live at the Knitting Factory features some of the most inventive and exciting performers in Jewish music today, including Klezmokum, Naftuli's Dream, and Hasidic New Wave. Recorded during the Knitting Factory's week-long Jewish music festival in December 1998, Klezmer Festival 1998 is released on the Jewish Alternative Movement (JAM) label, which describes the aesthetic of this album perfectly.
