Klesmer with Collards and Salsa.......2004-12-03

Virtuoso, staid and classy brass led by a wonderfully laconic trumpet. There's that sharp aroma of collards boiling with some ham in a dark bluesy corner diner with slow and ultra-cool salsa rhythm. The rays of the Wurlitzer in the dim distance suddenly shine gloriously through a late fall cloud bank. There are fedoras, and sunglasses and gold teeth in this music, with dreadlocks, brylcreem, and overcoats.

All topped off with my favorite cut,the last one, that takes the whole show into an underwater grotto where big fish glide noiselessly past in the shadows.

Definitely Out of the Box.......2002-02-21

As a photographer, I'm always looking for new ways to portray the "same old thing." Steven Bernstein has definitely succeeded in bringing a fresh look to Klezmer and other ethnic favorites. I knew that I would like the disk after hearing an interview with him on "Fresh Air"; Bernstein's musical resume and approach were intriguing.

This is a fun album to enjoy when you need a little something different. Also, try Sex Mob's "Sex Mob Does Bond" for the same bizarre look at traditional music.

new, mellow music came to my ears........2000-08-23

this cd was a love at first sight! the first time i listened to steven bernsteins tunes (the kind of sound he's creating by playing his trumpet is incredible) i knew i had to buy this cd.

it contains not only a never-heard kind of jazz, it is a menu of different kind of sounds without one loosing its quality being mixed with the others. if you like to have relaxed, sometimes melancolic, melodious jazz you have to have this.

Mannequin warehouse klezmer.......2000-06-12

There's a spooky otherworldly quality to these recordings. Songs like Mishtana reminded me of the Dummy album by Portishead. Other cuts are impossible to categorize (thus mannequin warehouse klezmer). Thanks for the great experiment. I find it very enjoyable listening to on long drives.
