Trio Klezmer nu på jazzscenen ! "Nussbaum - Smidl - Ougaard" optræder LIVE På Copenhagen Jazzfestival, -nærmere bestemt :

Tid : Tirsdag d. 6. juli kl. 19:00 (entré 70,-)
Sted : Borups Koncertsal, Frederiksholms Kanal 24, 1220 K
Link : festival.jazz.dk/programdetail.asp?eID=38986&l=1

I Jazzfestivallens program er denne koncert blevet forsynet med betegnelsen (V), som står for Vocal. Man kører nemlig en række koncerter med fokus på det vokale. Og ved denne lejlighed har Channe Nussbaum da også lovet, at hun vil synge som en engel, -hvilket muligvis vil overraske rundt omkring i de små hjem. Men jo ! Det kan hun faktisk.

Resten af trioen vil være knap så vokale, men de lover til gengæld at ville spille løs, ligesom de plejer. Så der er lagt op til en klassisk klezmer aften med jeres yndlingstrio på de skrå jazzbrædder. Velkommen til Borups Koncertsal på tirsdag !

(Har man svært ved at styre tålmodigheden kan man allerede i aften, søndag, kl. 21:30 høre Channe Nussbaum og orkesteret Spielniks spille hård klezmer og aggressive viser i Salon "K", Huset i Magstræde , Rådhusstræde 13, City, Entre 80 kr).

Klezmer concert at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia

Wednesday, July 7 @ 7:30

French for "The Black Eyes," this Paris-based octet, led by fiddlers Eric and Olivier Slabiak, offers an irresistible invitation to participate in some of the most rhythmic and emotional sounds emanating from any part of the world. Part gypsy, part klezmer, theirs is the music that has moved people to sing and dance around the world for centuries.

"In today's terminology, Les Yeux Noirs should have been the boyband of a lost era � eight of them, all performing, dancing, singing, powerhouses of entertainment, guaranteed to get the girls screaming and the masses on their feet." (Bangkok Post)

La musique klezmer est illustrée ici par des interprètes hors pair qui allient la rigueur des investigations musicologiques et le sens de l'improvisation, pour exprimer le lyrisme généreux d'une musique populaire au sens le plus profond du terme. Réellement, l'âme d'un peuple se manifeste ici, dans la tendresse et l'émerveillement de vivre, dans la douleur et l'angoisse également: un art qui par sa singularité même touche à l'universel.

9th KLEZMER & GYPSY MUSIC FESTIVAL
PINEROLO (Torino) - Italy
12 - 15 JULY 2004

JULY 12
6.00 p.m. Cortile di Piazza Barbieri
Bandaradàn (Italy)
9.30 p.m. Piazza San Donato
Frank London's Klezmer Brass Allstars (USA)

MORE INFO: www.sferaculture.com

Each edition is an experience that leaves its mark, imbued with unusual atmospheres,jazz manouche, Balkan brass bands, classic klezmer, and contamination with italian popular tradition and world music. They share a single origin: two forms of music that go back in time and in space, radically tied to popular sentiment, reaching us integral and vital in spite of the ravages of history. On one hand Klezmer music, inescapably tied to the people whose culture it expresses. And on the other, gypsy music, the atavistic sound of the wandering gypsy culture. There are few events like it in Italy or in Europe, and while it maintains the intimate dimension of a local festival, Vincoli Sonori continues to offer a quality programme that does not only appeal to fans of world music. In the past, guests have included Taraf de Haidouks, Acquaragia Drom, Urs Karpatz, The Klezmatics, Maurice El Medioni, Kalman Balogh, Loyko, Colalaila, Brave Old World, Titi and Ziroli Winterstein, Ando Drom and Bratsch.

Satalla is located at 37 West 26th Street (b/t Bway and 6th Ave) in New York City. Phone:(212) 576-1155

The cutting-edge world music club Satalla presents The Klez Dispensers in concert on Sunday, July 18th at 7pm as part of their summer celebration of Yiddish language and culture. Hailed by the Forward as "the voice of Klezmer past and future", Frank London of the Klezmatics called them his "favorite of the new generation of klezmer bands."

The Klez Dispensers, formed in 1998, have a diverse repertoire spanning traditional klezmer, a wide variety of jazz styles, and original compositions. They are currently a seven-piece band, comprising clarinet, trumpet, violin, saxophone, piano, bass and drums. The Klez Dispensers have performed at the New Jersey Folk Festival, the Sedgewick Theater in Philadelphia, Tonic's Klezmer Brunch, the Supper Club and CBGB's in New York, the National Theater Summer Stage in London, and perform frequently at venues in the tri-state area. In 2000, the group released their first album, "Indispensable" (now sold out). Their new album, "New Jersey Freylekhs", was released in early 2004.

Located in the heart of New York's Lower East Side, Tonic is the spot in NYC for avant-garde, creative and experimental music. The club regularly features performances by Tzadik executive producer John Zorn as well as Marc Ribot, Elliot Sharp, Medeski, Martin, and Wood, and others.

The dynamic guitar trio Rashanim merges the power of rock with electrifying improvisation and beautiful Jewish melodies, leading the The Village Voice to call them "one of the best things to happen to [Jewish music] since Andy Statman or the Klezmatics." Rashanim's debut CD was released in 2003 on John Zorn's Tzadik Records. Rashanim is lead by guitarist Jon Madof and includes Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz (Satlah, Lemon Juice Quartet, Anthony Braxton) on electric bass and Mathias Kunzli (Randy Brecker, George Garzone, Mecca Bodega) on drums and percussion.
