The Klezmatics take one of the wildest approaches to klezmer, the traditional dance music of the Eastern European Jews. Although their music is heavily influenced by the recordings of Abe Ellstein and Dave Tarras in the 1940s and 1950s, their lyrics comment on a wide variety of political and social issues and have led the group to be labeled the planets radical Jewish roots band.
The original members of the Klezmatics — Dave Lindsay (bass), Rob Chavez (clarinet), Alicia Svigals (fiddle) — were recruited through an ad in the Village Voice in 1985. Trumpet player Frank London of the Klezmer Conservatory Band joined the group soon afterward. Within a few weeks, the band was expanded with the addition of Lorin Sklamberg (vocals, accordion), Margot Leverett (clarinet), and David Licht (drums). Initially calling themselves Hortzeplotz, they soon renamed themselves the Klezmatics, a play on words inspired by the rock band the Plasmatics.
Despite their off-the-wall approach, the Klezmatics are held in high esteem for their musical virtuosity. The group recorded two albums with classical violinist Itzhak Perlman, 1995s In the Fiddlers House and 1996s Live in the Fiddlers House. In 1998, they collaborated with Israeli vocalist Chava Alberstein on an album titled The Well. In 2006, the Klezmatics released Wonder Wheel, an album seven years in the making that features the late Woody Guthries lyrics over Eastern European, klezmer, Latin, Celtic, Afro-Caribbean, and folk-flavored music.
热门评论
- @No.n：乐队其风格根源能让人追溯到久远的约旦河以西的古老民歌，像约旦河注入死海的水一般平静、咸涩，强烈的叙事诗般平易晓畅的表达，宁静中透着些许无法抚平的苍桑之感，情感的流露极为节制而不随意泛滥铺张。
