“Frank London is reflecting on his long and happy life as a founding member of The Klezmatics. Not just the 33 years he has spent with the band, touring the world, recording albums and delighting audiences with their uplifting, celebratory music. But also cementing their reputation as the best-known, and certainly one of the oldest, Klezmer bands in the world.”

“The generational meaning of Helen Keller’s quote could easily be applied to the Klezmatics successfully breaking and remaking the idea of what Jewish music was a generation ago, now the model for better klezmer bands everyone and no longer sounding so heretical. Be that as it may, this is excellent new music, and it is a joy that the Klezmatics have persevered and continue to write, and to showcase Jewish music, new and old.”

“It is music to savor, an album that will remind you that the musical world we inhabit is a remarkably fluid one, that the river of world heritage is wide so long as we have creative musicians like the Klezmatics to renew our immersion in living form, in tradition as interjected into our polyglot present, just as past Klezmer was a melding of disparate influences.”
